Fired Over Fruit Because Fruit Is Racist
There must be an end to this intimidation by those who come to this great country, but reject its culture.

Clearly he made the mistake of sharing, when a more niggardly approach was called for.

Just saw this a few minutes ago via Insty. Hardly seems possible.
ETA: On second thought, after seeing the photo in the article, they were right to let him go. He didn't even cut it up.

I don't know. No matter how you slice a watermelon, you're going to end up with wedges. Those are even more divisive.

Re: Fired Over Fruit Because Fruit Is Racist
didn't see the color of the guy who brought in the watermelon. Assumed he was not very dark skinned, because "racism". But, really. If I brought in a watermelon or if someone else brought in a watermelon, I'd be all "cool, cut me a slice". Not "Hey, racist fuck."
If someone brought in crackers or white bread, I also wouldn't be screaming racist. If they brought in crackers, I would be looking for the hummus or black bean dip. If they brought in white bread, meh don't like white bread, but free food and all.
Either there is WAY more to this, or that dude is gonna get PAID. If he does get paid. I might just have to go get a job for the man and try the same trick. Cause I am NOT to PROUD too make $300,000+ the easy way.

Re: Fired Over Fruit Because Fruit Is Racist
One issue is that since he is still on probation, he can be fired for almost any reason. I do hope that this is an exception, because in accusing him of racism, they are basically being racist .
