Tokyo, Japan (The Adobo Chronicles) – NAACP, the oldest and largest civil rights organization in the U.S. is demanding that the fast food giant Burger King pull the black burger from the menu of its stores in Japan.

The black burger consists of black-colored hamburger buns and black cheese smoked over bamboo charcoal, seasoned with black pepper and squid ink sauce. It is gaining wide popularity in Tokyo and other cities in Japan.

In a strongly-worded statement, the NAACP said that the burger, regardless of its taste, does nothing but perpetuate negative sentiments against black and colored people.  “We cannot allow Burger King to commercialize an entire race for profit motives,” the statement said.

Informed sources said that because of its popularity in Japan, Burger King is planning to introduce the black burger in the rest of Asia, Australia, South America and Europe. The fast food chain is reportedly very hesitant to introduce the item in the U.S. because of increasing racial tensions and widespread political correctness among Americans.

Burger King has not returned our calls asking whether it will eventually add black fries to its menu.
