Even if that's true about the stereotype, how exactly is it discriminatory?

A little, but not worth firing a guy over. Everybody loves watermelon, which goes great with fried chicken which most people also love. If he was bringing in pigs feet and malt liquor, *then* you clearly have some offensive stereotype shit going on.
It was a tradition among new firefighters, and he stated it wasn't intended as a joke.
What exactly is the problem with this?
I don't remember the last time I saw a black person eating a watermelon. Then again, I don't pay attention to what anybody else eats.One of my girlfriends always eats watermelon. Then I showed her the dark type watermelon pokeball meme and she was not happy... But the look on her face was hilarious.
Everybody loves watermelon

stereotypes are innately dangerous because they make you think of a caricature rather than an actual person. "all asians are good at math" might be complimentary, but it's still racist.
erode their humanity to make it easier to hate, classic racism cornerstone

Still doesn't explain how he was discriminatory.
I honestly can't tell if yall are doing bits or what.
Most of you claim to know everything about everything but then when it comes to racism no one knows shit.
That being said, lmao he didn'the mean to offend them but then again it's just the white mans ignorance "what's wrong, I thought you guys loved watermelon ?" is how I pictured that conversation going.
I love watermelon.
People should be able to take a joke like that. Really childish.
The more food you add to the list of "not allowed to give to black people", the more discrimination will increase. Not decrease.
The new firefighters should've given him a silly present back. Then become friends.
Now there's hateful feelings and seperation.
An all black no watermelons allowed firestation.
And maybe somehwere else an all white firestation where they're afraid of hiring black people because of the long list of "discriminatory" items.

He said it wasn't meant as a joke. He was literally just bringing a watermelon.

You're implying he was being racist when all he did was bring a watermelon.
It is a racial stereotype but is not racist in itself.
However it is a workplace and professionalism is expected.
Imagine if the job was full of mostly elderly people and he brought in prunes as a present.
okay that'd be pretty funny.
White man's ignorance.
How is it trolling?
You don't comprehend how something can't be seen as racist because you have never been exposed to it, you are ignorant of it. I didn't say you were stupid or dumb but you can't dismiss something because it doesn't seem that way to you.

Nope. "what's wrong, I thought you guys loved watermelon ?" That's you claiming he's racist.
It's almost like you didn't read the entire post because I said he prolly didn't mean to offend them the sentence before that. Now you're being dumb.
