you should get him a book about racism and give it to him at his favorite lunch spot

 

[Morgoth]

yeah the thread was a mistake

I realize that. If I had hindsight.

 

[Vermillion]

Well, watermelon is tastier than grapefruit.

Fake news

 

[Got]

 

[Attack You]

I have to be Black in order to enjoy watermelon shandy now!? Maaaaan, you guys get all the good stuff.

While we're at it, quit eating all of our fried chicken, White people. You're still allowed to work at Chick-Fil-A, though.

.................................................................................no

 

[Pein]

I was at traders joe and was buying vegetarian stuff and the cashier recommend try the masala burgers next time. I thought about it when I was leaving and was wondering if they said that because I'm Indian lol.

 

[ERotIC]

Not at all, but someone here will find a way to see you as racist.

not at that moment, but when you created the thread you were

There he is!

 

[harriet the spy]

I don't understand watermelon. Tastes like nasty water. A nice cantaloupe >>>>>> watermelon. But cantaloupes are pretty bad in the US admittedly.

 

[Takuan]

No, but it was likely taken that way. Innocent mistake, not a big deal.

 

[weekev]

You weren't racist until you had your afterthought which was super racist.

 

[choodi]

Were you prejudiced against someone based on their race?

No?

You're not racist.

 

[danthefan]

I don't understand why this could even be thought of as maybe even slightly racist. Can someone fill me in? Is this thread a by product of accusations of racism being thrown about like confetti these days?

Watermelon is too watery. It's like oh my mouth is completely full of water now. I wish I ate a real, solid food.

Thanks, I'm not American, had never seen this.

 

[smokeymicpot]

No he likes that brand and they are mostly fruit brands. No biggie.

 

[PdotMichael]

America, how could you turn the delicious waterlemon into a racial loaded term?

Aren't you shamed?

 

[vulva]

what a fucking bigot

 

[Dryk]

You weren't racist, but maybe that customer thinks you were. It happens, just gotta deal with it.

 

[Escape Goat]

You're a monster.

 

[Professor Beef]

Fake news

Grapefruit is one of the worst fruits, and that's something I'm willing to throw hands over.

 

[highrider]

not at that moment, but when you created the thread you were

I'm not prepared to call you racist for creating the thread, but I kind of agree. A white person really has no business engaging in a discussion about watermelon and the stereotypes the we like to place on black people. It seems kind of sarcastic and dismissive of very real things.

 

[King Tubby]

If you don't like watermelon, something is wrong with you.

 

[CortexVortex]

Haha no. Don't worry about stuff like this.

 

[Messofanego]

Maybe I phrased the question incorrectly. Not was I racist. But, Did What I say be considered racist. Mods, title change!!!!

You want to leave a funny thread's title up to the mods? You play with fire!

 

[Verano]

OP you were thats why you haz white guilt..

 

[Vault Dweller 111]

This thread is more racist than what you said.

 

[Transhuman]

This thread is more racist than what you said.

That's racist.

 

[Monocle]

Hey GAF, when I eat Oreos I open up the black cookies so I can eat the white filling first. Am I racist?

 

[caliph95]

Hey GAF, when I eat Oreos I open up the black cookies so I can eat the white filling first. Am I racist?

I think that's what they call white genocide

 

[Zolo]

Hey GAF, when I eat Oreos I open up the black cookies so I can eat the white filling first. Am I racist?

You're cool as long as you never ate these.

 

[LegoArmo]

I don't understand watermelon. Tastes like nasty water. A nice cantaloupe >>>>>> watermelon. But cantaloupes are pretty bad in the US admittedly.

I don't like any melons. Think I might be broken.

You weren't racist, OP, and I wouldn't assume the guy even gave it a second thought.

 

[holygeesus]

You weren't racist until you had your afterthought which was super racist.

Being aware of racist stereotypes doesn't make you a racist does it?

 

[Jack The Nipper]

What is a Shandy

Is op a Shandy

 

[paperboywriter]

Larry David is that you?

What is a Shandy

Shandy in the U.K. is half beer, half lemonade. A hand shandy is something different. Never heard of fruit flavoured shandies though. Might be different in the US, like cider.

 

[SephiZack]

I didn't know this was a thing. I remember seeing some pictures in the past and just thought it was a random meme

Canteloupe and honeydew are the king and queen of melons, this watermelon stuff is low tier trash.

 

[TanookiTom]

I really don't understand _at all_ what's going on here. Can someone fill me in?

 

[The Boat]

Ban this sick filth!

 

[Machina]

Jesus christ, OP. Unwind the twine, brother.

 

[Catvoca]

Looking forward to seeing this in the new Curb Your Enthusiasm season.

 

[HazySaiyan]

I'm telling the ACLU

 

[rocketskates]

I'm gonna step out on a limb here and say that if you're this dense about questioning your own mentality and thoughts, there is probably something wrong with your level of intelligence.

 

[The Boat]

Reminds of how some people in Portugal can't say the word black around black people because they think they might be offended. I actually have a friend who doesn't even use the word black in any context, It's hilarious.

 

[Lonely1]

In an ideal world, black people should be asked about their taste in watermelons in the same proportion as non-blacks. And is a shame that the fruit has become a symbol of racist, as it is damn tasty.

 

[ldcommando]

yes

 

[Username1198]

How do you look in the mirror op??
