I’ve heard the watermelon thing. But I’ve never heard anything about pineapple or coconut. Aren’t those Pacific islander things?

Coconut is a slur like is like Oreo. Dark on the outside, white on the inside. It’s usually a Black on Black slur against Negros that have assimilated into society.
The war on whites continues.
Obama has made me realize that they will use that accusation to justify any abuse of our rights.
Actually I think this is a good thing in a way... the kids are getting firsthand experience of runaway political correctness at a young age and can see how utterly ridiculous it is.
The MAJORITY that look at this with a crooked eye will keep this memory with them.
Of course, I was raised in the South, and "Soul Food" is just "food" to me, so maybe I'll just never understand.

I’ve heard that all people of color enjoy watermelon, pineapple and coconut. Even the word “coconut” is racist. Good thing they didn’t include bananas, because we know that the fact that monkeys like them is very racists.
I haven’t cared for years if someone called me “racist, bigot, (insert latest victim)-phobe.
They say it like its the ultimate insult, the ultimate argument winner, the most horrible thing in the world and I must run and hide in a corner and apologize profusely. Give all my possessions to them and commit suicide.
If someone says ‘you’re a whateverphobe’, I say ‘yeah, so? What are you going to do about it?’
Someone once served me a whitebread sandwich and I’ve had PTSD ever since.
The proper response is:
I am offended that you are offended.
That has become the most reasonable response to such accusations. Ignore the perceived stigma and just say what you think.
I love watermelon. I am a bit of a watermelon nut. It is one of my favorite things ever. I also love fried chicken.
I've never actually comprehended how enjoying these things is regarded as a stereotype.
Please, dfwgator, not at lunchtime!
What Norwegian wouldn't love a gift like that?...uff da!
