Why is there a stereotype that black people like chicken and watermelon?

for me i believe it is because almost every movie about black people their is always comfort food such as chicken and more so that may be one of  the causes or that or people just assume things from the internet when they type black comfort food or Sunday dinner.

hopes this helps have a nice day :)
