Okay, while the "fell out of a coconut tree" tree line is fine, referring to a brown skinned person as a "coconut" is indeed problematic. "Brown on the outside, white on the inside". Even if it's kinda true in her case

The coconut tree meme exists in the context of all that is and all that came before it

Isn't that more of a UK thing? Never really heard that term used in America. There's a cookie-based slur that I think is more the US equivalent to the UK one.
