I'm not "eager to find racism" in anything. What I AM doing is pointing out that watermelon has historically very often been used in a racist context in regards to black people. You can feign ignorance about that as much as you would like but it's literally a fact. And ya boy above must suck at using google because if you type in "Watermelon black people", you can find page after page discussing how it became a racist trope.
