They started with an accident that killed a pedestrian.

The exact line was, "It happened on Choctaw and 38th. If you are not familiar with this area, it's near the Popeye's!"

It brought me a good laugh

To be fair.... Only reason I know where they're talking about is because they said it's by the Popeyes

I don't know how Louisiana works but I've never been to a nice part of Nashville, Knoxville or Chattanooga and seen a Popeye's.

You're actually the one that made it sound racist, not the news.

You have to go way to the left of this picture to find a Popeye's.

Like really far to the south west. I live on the opposite side of this river downtown. I'm eleventy billion percent ok with there being no Popeye's within a 20 minute drive.
