Oh no, ignorant racism! We all know that's the nuclear bomb of any argument because NOTHING is worse than silly racism. Being labelled a racist is modern day leprosy. Once you catch it, you're fucked.
But yeah, I can understand how hurtful it is to be associated with liking watermelon, fried chicken and ribs. I'd much rather be compared to a guy who tried to wipe a group of people off the face of this earth.
