I can't buy or eat watermelon in front of white people anymore

51 Comments

It's just so fucking awkward. Watermelon isn't even my favorite fruit. At least with chicken I can have Asian teriyaki or cut my chicken so it's not painfully obvious what I'm eating. I didn't even care about who saw me buy what until the sweetest looking old white lady smirked at me while I was picking out a watermelon from the giant box thing at Costco. She stayed there long enough for the little girl beside her who I assume to be her grandchild, to look up between us and get it ingrained in her 3 year old blonde head that a black person with a watermelon is weird or funny. This makes me so sad...

It's not a big deal, even if some people will react.	10
Get it presliced so it's not obvious.	3
Stop being a little bitch and buy the damn fruit.	49
Ignore stereotypes; we all have them idc if 1/2 of yours can kill you.	8

Help us keep this site organized and clean. Thanks!

If you like it, just get it. Stereotypes are stupid and have no real merit on a group of people. Who cares what they think, bruh?

  ...Seems like you were banned...That's unfortunate but at the same time I'm glad I don't have to see you put your own hashtag and your own quote like some pretentious tween. Lol

The watermelon stereotype isn't an important one. It's the violent crime, apathetic attitudes towards doing anything resembling work, rampant irresponsible breeding, and overall tribal behavior that are far more important to discuss.

  I'm worried about it too, even if I don't do it.

      Hmm...we could take those that do such things and lethally euthanize them. I'd be safe.

        For some reason I can't edit (maybe it's because I'm on my phone), so I meant *legally.

Thank you everyone for your answers. I've laughed, smiled and looked good-naturedly over all of them. I realize now that I must live my life, and I whenever I happen to buy watermelon I will purchase it with my head held high.

I think it is horrible that you are made to feel that way. Racism is a horrible plague that needs to be stopped.

As a white person I actually feel the same way about buying/eating mayonnaise around black people.

    Yeah, it is. Mayonnaise, white bread, cheese, casseroles, hummus (with gluten-free pita crackers), are all stereotypical white people food.

    Hey bro. I'm a white guy, but I don't glow in the dark. Anyway, watermelon, cantaloupe, pineapple salads are good if you buy them pre-made. Just want to take this opportunity to give a my support to any two-parent African-American family that reads stories and works easy logic puzzles with their pre-school children. I'm sorry that social expectations are stacked against good people like you. I've never figured out why black culture is so violent, egotistical, and unstable for families.

Its just food. Nothing to be ashamed off. Next time take a box off XXXXL condoms with you, and accidentally drop them.

I'm half Colombian, and although I was never much of a coffee drinker now I'm a snob in that I only want organic, Colombian, blond roast coffee with a hint of vanilla. I'm also of Welsh ancestry, and I LOVE words and singing!

        No reason to be alarmed. I would be panic stricken if I had to meet you in person, because of the neurosis you project. But I would nominate you as the second most interesting person here at IIN.
