Why Are Europeans So Weak To Unrefrigerated Chicken?

This meme uses the popular Grant Gustin funeral pose template. A gravestone is labeled 'Europeans eating Chicken that has been Out of the fridge for 10 minutes', implying that eating chicken left unrefrigerated for only 10 minutes would be fatal for Europeans. Actor Grant Gustin, playing Barry Allen from the Arrowverse, is crouched cheerfully next to the grave making a casual hand gesture, and is labeled 'Indians eating streetfood Chicken'. The joke pokes fun at the common stereotype that Indians have far more digestive tolerance for food that may not meet strict food safety standards, while Europeans have very sensitive stomachs that react badly to even minor deviations from refrigeration rules for meat.

The base image is a behind-the-scenes shot from the CW superhero series Arrow, showing actor Grant Gustin (who plays The Flash in the shared Arrowverse) posing lightheartedly next to a prop gravestone during the filming of a funeral scene, which became a widely used meme template for contrasting a negative outcome for one group with a positive/unaffected outcome for another group when exposed to similar or worse stimuli. This specific edited version of the template was shared on Reddit under the original title 'Why are we so weak?', referencing the perceived low food tolerance of Europeans compared to Indians.
