Yes, but would you then eat it? :shocked:

I've always wondered about that stereotype. I have yet to meet a black person who doesn't love watermelon. It's just fascinating. :laugh: I see nothing racist about it. I just laugh that it's the one stereotype (of any race, well besides asians and rice, but is that a stereotype or just now accepted fact? lol) that I have thus far seen go unbroken.

Black people stereotypically love watermelon, but no such stereotypes exist for whites.

I wasn't aware of this stereotype...

Glad I was not the only one, and I grew up in the south! All kids loved watermelon, blacks, whites etc.

What is it about the south that makes watermelon so popular? It is definitely something I've seen more in Southern folk, regardless of race.

I am black and I don't really like watermelon.

Uncle Tom!

Dude, wake up and smell the irony.

This thread IS a parody . . . of itself!

This damn thread just won't die...

From another atot thread: "all vegans are pretentious turds".

However, don't know if vegans can be considered a race...unless referring to people from the planet vega.

The family had some relatives in and were barbecuing and hanging out by the pool. When I got there, my neighbor walks out with a piece of watermelon, and I responded "Mmm, you got some watermelon!" The wife offered me a piece, and I got me a piece.

Later on, I realized what I said and hoped I didn't come off as racist. The neighbor family is black by the way.

don't be so damned sensitive, you said nothing wrong. If you had said, "Boy, go fetch me a watermelon." then you would have something to worry about.

Wait, calling watermelon watermelon is now racist?

Down south, its a well known stereotype. At the same time, EVERYONE loves watermelon here.. to ask for it is no big deal, now if you had just walked up when offered and just blurted out, "Oh yes massa! I shaaaaa do loves me some waaaaaatamelon!" Then you may not have gotten a good response..

Every Southerner likes watermelon, fried chicken and BBQ. If they don't, they are a relocated yankee.

There's no reason to stew over whether or not you might be racist, you're from texas, you should know you are by now.

Including your own?

Is this a self image issue like groucho marx? - "if a club wants me, then I don't want them".

How many fights did they have at the family reunion? I work with a black guy that likes to tell stories about the fights that break out at his family reunions and during church. According to him, most of the fights are started by women.

I'm also a racist, but I'm NOT prejudiced...I hate everyone equally.

I am white and yes I dislike white people and white groups. I have no tolerance for trailer trash and rednecks especially.
