    Haha, I saw it around when it was originally posted. It’s just so bizarre I didn’t know what to make of it. I couldn’t find an extended version or anything describing the context around it.

      I think it’s because people used watermelon emoji to represent Gaza support (because of the colours) so now watermelons are antisemitic

        Oh, I’m aware, it’s just bizarre even with that context. But yes, important to note for anyone not aware.

        watermelons are an old racist anti African American symbol
