If white people don't like chicken and watermelon too, then I'm not sure what is wrong with them. To me, this is like saying "Black people like money."
Question for black folks, if there wasn't the history involved with the watermelon and fried chicken stereotype, would it be funny? Well, maybe not funny, but if the history and negative (I guess?) connotation wasn't there, would it still be offensive? The same question could go to Jewish people and profession stereotypes, etc.
Basically, is it the stereotype itself, or the pattern and tone of usage?
