I second this question for the libs.

Why is it an issue he put a bow on it and then the mentioning of its color?

That's about it the size of it.

And guess what? Black and white hiring managers are avoiding this kind of thing at all costs now for fear of making some innocent mistake that could cost them their job - so the loons on the left are actually hurting the people they claim to be protecting.

I thought pink bows stood for breast cancer awareness.

Good lord, boobies and watermelon - clearly this whole thing is very offensive. VERY. I am offended even thinking about it.

"Boobies and watermelon" sounds like a porno that I would definitely be interested in viewing.

How does anyone get to be 41 believing that bringing in a $5 watermelon with a pink bow no less, is going to endear you to your black coworkers?

He should have sprung for a couple dozen Dutch Girl glazed and skipped the stupid pink bow.

What a doofus.

You have got to be kidding me. I would never though that I would offend anyone black or white with a damn watermelon.

Don't forget the little pink bow! Strategically placed of course.

Are you assuming your own gender lily?

That's misogynist.

Down with the patriarchy!

So clearly he was calling them a bunch of boobs, too.
