I am an African-American female. To hear racial slurs and prejudices like that goes to show how there are very ignorant people out there in the world. The thing is this: blacks have been oppressed for many years (and are somewhat still today), and that assumption is only one of the many stereotypes toward blacks in general. Do you know that people of other races have different stereotypes as well? For whites: ‘White men can’t jump, nor do they have any rhythm.’ For Asians: ‘They are so smart in math.’ So you see, to pick on that stereotype would be ridiculous. There are just too many. So the answer is no, it is not true. Not all blacks like watermelon! Only ignorant people would try to associate that with a whole race.

I wouldn’t judge and assume that all are like that though. It is just your experiences. But there is one thing I can say, that is that people on the island tend to give a more friendly atmosphere, because that is how their culture is. I am not saying that all Caribbena people are truly nice, but they are generally taught to be hospitable towards people in general. I have family from there so it is true. NYC is more of a fast pace environment, and people tend to have rushed, hectic lives. That may tend to come off snobbish. It all really depends on your environment and where you come from. Not all African Americans are rude. Do you know that people say that Europeans are rude as well? You cannot make assumptions towards a whole group and label them. People are individuals and therefore have different personalities. You have to get to know a person for who they really are.
