advice : IS THIS OVERLY SENSITIVE OR SIGN OF RACISM? [+] ballot by larrynelmira ACTIVE Tue Aug 14, 07 - Wed Aug 13, 08 The other ballot I just made about racism brought this to mind. A few months ago I attended a wedding, ( I was between women at the time: (, not being desperate but did not want to attend by myself} I asked one of my cousins who is very shy, kind of sheltered from the world to go with me. To make along story short, the wedding was for an interracial couple the bride’s family was black the groom’s family was white. At the reception, my cousin and I were talking and she said “on the way home can we stop and get a watermelon,” no one gave it a thought, but my cousin jumped up, and ran to the car, I asked what was wrong, her answer, “I said watermelon” . I just couldn’t believe she thought the word watermelon in the context that she used it, was racist. What’s up with my cousin, would you call her out of touch with reality, sheltered, lack of social skills, shy or racist? I never thought of her as racist, she never showed one indication to me of that, but in her mind does she associate watermelon with blacks in a racist way, by saying the word she thought she showed that part of herself or is she as square as the watermelons in that picture? I don’t know how to read her what you think? out of touch with reality sheltered lack of social skills shy square as the watermelons in that picture racist I don't know and I don't care.
