Is it true that inviting black people to eat watermelon represents racial discrimination in the United States?

This statement is true, and its seriousness is not only simple racial discrimination. In the eyes of black Americans, inviting him to eat watermelon represents an insult to him personally.

Although this statement seems absurd, it has its roots.

Before the abolition of slavery in the United States, the main agricultural products planted by farmers were watermelons and cotton. Because all slaves were bought by farmers, there was no saying that there was no salary at that time. Black slaves are so busy all day that sometimes they can't even eat. If there are good blacks, farmers in a good mood sometimes reward them with some watermelons for dinner.

This has led to the saying that "black people love watermelon" in the United States, which represents low IQ and laziness.

In fact, it doesn't mean that they can't eat watermelon, nor does it mean that they don't like watermelon by nature. When eating watermelon becomes synonymous with insulting them, no one may be interested in that kind of food.

After all, this is a cultural phenomenon! Just like in India, cows are sacred to them and eaten with their hands. There are high and low castes. This kind of culture is beyond our understanding, and the principle of the two is the same.

Maybe in their eyes, there are some things in our culture that they don't understand!

I remember a few years ago, Wade participated in a commercial activity in China, and the organizer took Wade to KTV to sing. On the way, the KTV box attendant sent a fruit bowl with watermelons in it. Wade's face changed at that time.

For this kind of culture, the organizers were not clear at first. He saw Wade's face was not good-looking, so he asked him what was going on. Later, he knew the problem, and then he solemnly apologized to Wade. Wade also knew that the organizer didn't mean it, so he forgave it.

It can be seen from this aspect that no matter whether the other party is rich or poor, culture is rooted in the bones, especially this culture has obvious irony and insult, and the parties concerned will care regardless of their status.

Therefore, if you have black friends from the United States in your life circle, no matter what the relationship is, it is best not to use watermelon to test or joke.
