I'll be glad when watermelon is no longer considered racist, it's my favorite. Ditto bananas, although I prefer the ruby red fingerings to the big, tasteless Cavendish variety at the supermarket. What likely put it over the top were the coconuts, not terribly appropriate because they can't be eaten out of hand, they need tools and aggression first.

My guess is that it will be allowed to blow over (it's Texas) but from now on, they're going to stick to apples and grapes.

Hard to draw conclusions from that report. The givers were mixed race, the recipients unknown. . . Journeyman Oct 2015 #6
