      It would only be racist if it was a white guy leaving watermelon gifts on black porches.

      If it were a black guy leaving watermelons on black porches, Afro-American solstice fruit Santa. It would become racist again if white people tried to participate by leaving stereotypical black cultural gift offerings akin to milk and cookies for Santa.

        “Racially insensitive,” perhaps, but just trying to participate in someone’s culture is usually pro-social. Only as a form of mockery would I call that racist.
