New York University have been forced to apologise after serving
'racially insensitive' options for Black History Month, including
watermelon-flavoured water, collard greens and ribs. The university who
was accused of playing to racist stereotypes with their choice of foods
and refreshments has suspended the director of Weinstein Passport Dining
Hall. The Black History month meal also included Kool-Aid which
sophomore Nia Harris slammed on Facebook. She said: 'This is what it's
like to be a black student at New York University. 'In 2018, I
literally had to explain why displaying watermelon and Kool-Aid in
celebration of Black History Month was not only racially insensitive but
just ignorant.'
