Coon Chicken Inn was an American chain of three restaurants that was founded by Maxon Lester Graham and Adelaide Burt in 1925, which prospered until the late 1950s. The restaurant's name contained the word Coon, considered a racial slur, and the trademarks and entrances of the restaurants were designed to look like a smiling caricature of an African-American porter. The smiling capped porter head also appeared on menus, dishes, and promotional items. Due to changes in popular culture and the general consideration of being culturally and racially offensive, the chain was closed by 1957.

  • Coon Chicken Inn foi uma rede estadunidense de quatro restaurantes, fundada por Maxon Lester Graham e Adelaide Burt em 1925, que prosperou até o fim dos anos 1950. A rede de restaurantes foi popular em seu tempo. O nome do restaurante (que usa um estigma étnico), marcas registradas, e entradas dos restaurantes foram desenhados para parecer com uma caricatura blackface sorridente de um porteiro Afro-Americano. A cabeça do porteiro sorridente também aparecia em menus, pratos e itens promocionais. Devido a mudanças na cultura popular e a consideração geral de ser racialmente ofensivo, a rede foi desde então descontinuada e agora está extinta. (pt)
