The Boston Museum of Fine Arts has apologised after a teacher said her group of pupils suffered racist language and treatment during a visit. Marvelyne Lamy said staff had followed the black and other minority 12 and 13-year-olds, yelling at them not to touch exhibits while ignoring white groups. She said staff told the group: "No food, no drink, and no watermelon." The term dates back to the US civil war and is considered derogatory when used in relation to the black community

Telling black kids no food, no drink, no watermelon is racist.
Watermelon has been associated with blacks as a derogatory symbol for years.

May I ask your age?
I'm pushing 50 and this is something I can remember from growing up.
I wonder if it's something younger generations have lost. If so it's a good thing showing home we have grown as a people.

As i don't reside in The U.S. the use of the word " Watermelon " is something completely new to me. As far as i know, using that word here in The U.K causes no offence to any community.
I was looking for a proper analogy...by Jove, you've got it!

There is a slight difference if i may add.
The word " fag " has a different meaning in The U.K. and The U.S.
However " Watermelon " is the same in both our countries. That word is all about U.S. racial history it would appear.
