Today, I was called a bitch and "freaky as hell" because I don't like watermelon. I'm sorry, but just because I'm black doesn't mean I like watermelon. FML

I don't even know why those are stereotypes for us. Most people love chicken, kool-aid and watermelon. I'd say if you are gonna marginalize people for not likin those three, do it off the strength of the deliciousness of those food items. Not because of the color of your skin. Shame on you OP for being a HUMAN BEING who doesn't like watermelon.

That's so uncalled for, on top of being incredibly rude. I don't like watermelon either, but that doesn't warrant calling me a bitch. I'm sorry, OP. Try to take the high road, and move on... Holding a grudge will only let your anger fester.

I probably would have called you weird. Not because of your skin, but because I've never met someone who didn't like watermelon. But it would have been said in good fun

I love watermelon, and I'm white. I didn't know that eating watermelon was a black thing. Never heard that before.

Here here. And just because I'm white doesn't mean I don't love fried chicken and kool-aid. Also, just because you're black, doesn't mean you can dance. I learned that when a local church had a couple's dance night at the dance studio I was attending at the time. So many left feet. Stereotypes are dumb.

and just because I'm white doesn't mean I'm a racist. (this a joke for any of you out that get butthurt over anything)

People tell me I'm can't really be Danish, because I don't like strawberries ?:(

This. is a new and specific stereotype. I have learned a thing.

I didnt know this was a stereotype? wot?

Omg I thought I was the only one! I say we form a "Blacks against Watermelon" party. That stereotype always gets me a sideways look at bbqs. It's so annoying.

preach!! so sick of stereotypes... I'm black and a vegetarian. which means NO I don't like fried chicken and I'm not any less of a person for itm

I'm black too and can't stand it. The texture and flavor weirds me out and I just don't like it. This stereotype needs to end.
