Modern information spread so quickly and developed, I believe many people already know that black Americans have a special affection for watermelon and fried chicken, they buy and eat themselves, or members of the black community invite each other to eat these two foods, and black Americans do love to eat these two foods.
But once other non-black members, such as a white or Asian (yellow in this case) invite black people to eat watermelon or fried chicken, it is taboo, because these two foods involve racial discrimination, even if the guest does not intend to be so useless, watermelon and fried chicken in the United States are such politically sensitive foods, affecting the "young" hearts of black Americans.
Racial discrimination has a long history in the United States, in life, Americans have to talk about political correctness everywhere, have to be more careful, a little inattentive will step on the thunder of racial discrimination.
In September 2017, a white American named Robert Pattison, after completing the induction training, officially joined the 55th Fire Brigade in Detroit and became a firefighter, in order to be able to have a good relationship with his teammates, the friendly Robert Pattison brought a watermelon to give to his teammates as a gift.
Who knows, because more than ninety percent of the members of detroit's 55th Fire Brigade are black or have black ancestry, and black people regard other ethnic groups giving them watermelons as racist, and you can imagine robert's black teammates reacting to this gift. So the hapless Robert Pattison was fired as soon as he joined, and the head of detroit's 55th Fire Brigade thought he was doing the right thing, saying they had zero tolerance for racial discrimination.

Food-sensitive incidents like these have occurred in many cases in the United States, no less bad than inviting Muslims to eat pork, and the food that caused these incidents was not only watermelon, but also fried chicken and grape-flavored soda, because these three foods have always been regarded by Americans as poor sour foods loved by low-level blacks.
In our view, watermelon and fried chicken are barely linked to discrimination against blacks, after all, these two foods became the main food of many black slaves before the Civil War, when the United States also practiced slavery to enslave black slaves. When the Civil War was over and blacks were liberated, many blacks lived on these two foods. At the same time, watermelon and fried chicken became the main food of black people at that time because of their low price, and American culture naturally defaulted to black people liking these.

Racists belittled and discriminated against them, as if black people eating watermelon and fried chicken is a great moral corruption, so at that time there were many discriminatory advertisements and leaflets about black people eating watermelon and fried chicken, which made black Americans naturally feel uncomfortable, so they would feel that people of other ethnic groups invited themselves to eat watermelon or fried chicken is a kind of racial discrimination, and the worst is also the impression of the black community.
But what many Chinese can't understand is how grape-flavored sodas are related to black racism? After all, I have never heard of any black man who makes money by selling grape-flavored sodas, and black people did not have the habit of drinking grape-flavored sodas in the era of slavery. And with the grape aroma, drink sweet and sour, iced and cool taste of grape flavor soda is loved by many people, please black people drink a grape flavor soda is related to discrimination against black people?
In the United States, there are politically sensitive foods — grape-flavored soda, watermelon, and fried chicken
Although inviting black people to drink grape-flavored soda, especially large bottles of grape-flavored soda, is less excessive than inviting them to eat watermelon and fried chicken, black people will still respond in their hearts, because in their view, this is a kind of solidification of black people's preferences, with a certain racial color, light quarrels, heavy friends turn against each other.
This is actually not difficult to understand, just as foreigners do not understand why stealing manhole covers is associated with insulting Henan Province, it is generally difficult for us to understand why watermelon, fried chicken and grape-flavored soda are linked to black racial discrimination, but this is also a historical reason, because black people have indeed been discriminated against for a long time in history.
And to this day, in the 2008 American movie Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay, there was a scene of white people humiliating black people with grape-flavored soda.
Stills from "Pig's Head Walking the Streets"
Grape-flavored soda was born for a short time, but at the beginning of its market, it was loved by the bottom people in the United States because of its good taste and low price, and its popularity was no worse than today's cola, and black people at that time were the main consumers of grape-flavored soda, because it was cheap enough, much cheaper than beer and wine.
As the number of black people drinking grape-flavored soda increases, some American racists regard large bottles of cheap grape-flavored soda as "inferior races" - the "exclusive drink" of black people (in fact, the bottom whites also drink this soda), and through quantitative statistics, it can also be concluded that grape-flavored soda is indeed a favorite soda flavor of blacks, so white racists have greatly belittled it.
Playing the old way again, shooting some ads and pictures that demonize black people are distributed online, and doing everything possible to scandalize black people. In this way, under the emphasis of media and personal propaganda, American culture began to tacitly accept that black people like grape-flavored soda, just as they looked at the relationship between black people and watermelon and fried chicken, thinking that this was the poor sour food representative that the black people liked, which was synonymous with inferiority and inferiority, saying that the skin color of black people was the same color as the grape-flavored soda they often drank, which was actually more like a class discrimination than just racial discrimination.
Drink grape-flavored soda
Black people have a big opinion on this, they think that they like to drink grape-flavored sodas is their own business, you white people have nothing to emphasize, ridicule what we do? This is racism. Their hearts must be uncomfortable, because they understand that people also drink grape-flavored soda, so why only emphasize us? It was as if it was a great sin for black people to drink grape-flavored soda.
This feeling is the same as the problem of Henan people encountering people in other provinces asking him "Do Henan people like to steal manhole covers", which is the same as the question of regional discrimination (I have no other meaning, crazy hints, believe me). It's hard to say that black people are glass hearts, because American racists have indeed used these foods to play with all kinds of discriminatory black stems, until now some white people will show playful smiles when they see black people eating fried chicken and watermelon, and drinking grape-flavored soda, just like the smiles of greasy and obscene men when they see girls buy cucumbers and eggplants, so how can black people not hate people of other ethnic groups and invite them to drink grape-flavored soda.
