I had a friend at work who was black and she refused to eat watermelon and fried chicken (although if you ask me, she didn’t know what she was missing!) because she said she didn’t like the stereotypes they conjured up. Look back at old vaudeville jokes and skits – the performers would use blackface and watermelons.
