Topic	Watermelon salad: Childrens museum serves racist snack to celebrate Juneteenth
TheSavageDragon 06/16/22 3:24:52 PM #34:	NeoShadowhen posted... The museum has come out and said that they need to have better oversight on their vendors. I doubt it was meant to be offensive, but there really isnt any kind of connection between that particular dish and black culture or history, despite it originating in Egypt. Everybody needs to be more aware of these kinds of things, especially the vendor in this case. The connection is one of the ingredients being a 200 year old stereotype along with Juneteenth being plastered over it... <cite>TheSavageDragon posted [p:965864120] in Watermelon...
