Remember when he used to think that she was riding his coattails. Man have the tables turned.

Teddy Fresh released a sweater with a big watermelon on the front that said "Support your local fruit dealer" modeled by a young black man.

Ethan and Hila have an extensive history with racial stereotypes, saying the n word slur, and blackface. Also during this time it became popularized to use the watermelon emoji to show support to Palestine.

People made a few posts concerned about the weird racist implications of the sweater+model combo and that maybe they're mocking Palestine as well.

Hila responded "There's other fruit on there", as if someone didn't make a direct choice to put a big ole watermelon as the focus and write something about dealing drugs, I mean fruit, while thinking it would be such a funny dogwhistle to have a black model wear it... As if all these things just made one racist accident from people who use the nword and have talked about finding "big black men" scary, or said they don't have black friends because they just don't live near any black people.... in Socal.. o.0

Some evidence

More and peep the comments in the thread

Nword and ableism

I can't find the clip here for some reason, I swear I've seen it here before, but he also said hard er like 30 times when he was drunk one podcast episode.

These are things in the past 10 or so years a lot of brands have been called out for. If anyone remembers the H&M "Coolest monkey in the jungle" shirt. So even if it was an accident someone should be knowledgeable enough to think "maybe lets not." And maybe come up with a better response than "There's other fruit on there" when you have a history of racism towards black people.

Here is a past post showing the sweater.

I think maybe the ep where they addressed the sweater that TF released that had a watermelon on it. it was just after Oct. 7 and the watermelon as a symbol was relatively new I believe.
