I thought this had to be a spoof..

Guess I really don't understand this as being racial. I know the historical jokes linked but seriously, who doesn't like watermelon? Does this mean they shouldn't have a stand that sells chicken either? It would be more offensive serving traditional white people foods such as mac&cheese, Casseroles, and turkey sandwiches and saltine crackers IMO.

I hate how the article says several of the hundreds of commenters were offended. Ok, like, what do they consider several? 3 or more is considered several (I guess I should be pleased they refrained from using a lot).

There was no reason for this museum to apologize. Damn, we have become such a ridiculous people. We are our own worst enemy.
