      Watermelon is the same colors as Palestine's flag and occasionally used as a symbol of support and sympathy

      In practice, calling someone a Melonist just sounds like you're attempting to revive an old-timey slur from the 1800's

            My mother used to—she would give us a hard time sometimes, and she would say to us, “I don’t know what’s wrong with you young people. You think you just fell out of a coconut tree?” (Laughs.)

            You exist in the context of all in which you live and what came before you.

    Without context, if you told me somebody invented the slur "melonist", I'd assume it referred to people who supported Italian Prime Minister Meloni.
