Where do these 2 stereotypes come from?

1. That black people can't swim
2. That black people love watermelon

Asking out of genuine curiosity.

Also, I've never understood why some gay men call others by female pronouns regardless of the persons gender.

I don't think either of those stereotypes hold up to scrutiny.

Also, watermelon is loved by many people all over the world.

Also, there is this sort of a summer beach activity in Japan called "Suikawari," (スイカ割 translated as watermelon splitting) which is where a watermelon is laid on a a tarp and people have to try and break the watermelon with a stick while blindfolded, but before they hit it, they have to spin around in place a few times.
