The term "Po Boy" is not inherently racist; it refers to a style of sandwich that originated in New Orleans, typically consisting of meat, seafood, or vegetables served in a French bread roll. The name is believed to have originated during the 1929 streetcar strike when a local restaurant offered free Sandwiches to striking workers, who were called "poor boys." While the term itself is not offensive, discussions around cultural appropriation and representation in food can sometimes lead to broader conversations about race and identity.
