What 🍉 means

Summer in one slice: picnics, heat waves and cool, juicy relief.

Hot days, cookouts and fruit snacks call for 🍉. Its red, green, black and white colors match the Palestinian flag, so it is widely used to show support for Palestinians.

In the United States, watermelon was used in racist caricatures of Black people, so context matters.
