Absolute racism - fire this idiot NOW.

[SmokeALib]

It's unreal how these two little girls were snubbed. Very sad for these girls, and society today.
This person needs to be immediately fired.

I'd first have to hear both sides of the story to say it is racism. I would bet it had nothing to do with racism.

I believe the OP is being ironically hyperbolic.

This is the race card version of, "Why doesn't MY kid get to pitch?".

Wow, a Disney employee that didn't want to touch little kids.
There's a first time for everything

Rewatch the video. It's quite obviously racism.

Not Disney. Owned by SeaWorld.

Maybe, maybe not.

Disney? WTF are you talking about?

Parents can be weird....Ever see them jostling for position at a school play or other event? Back in the day of the VHS camcorders they thought nothing at all of setting up a big camcorder/tripod right in front of other parents.

it could be that the person in the suit was still replying to the adult that they 1st wagged their finger at ... it appeared like after 1st wagging finger at said adult the adult commented or said something and then the person in the suit was waving away the adult .... maybe ...

Always an excuse for racism, police murder, etc.

To be fair, the weird stranger in a costume didn't shoot the kids ... he just didn't hug them.

 

[whitehall]

Come on, this is a bull shit issue. The costume might have prevented the character from seeing the kids. The Sesame people might have instructed their people not to touch kids for health and security reasons. Isn't there enough race based carnage in freaking Chicago every week to get riled about?

Does your name start with a "K" ???

 

[aaronleland]

Sesame Street has always been racist. Remember when Oscar the Grouch dragged those black kids behind a truck?

There's absolutely no evidence of racism in the video, jackass.

Well,
Hard to believe he didn't see the kids. Common sense he / she probably did.
Believe it or not, there really are a LOT of racist people out there.

The story also says similar incidents have occurred with this same person before.
While concrete evidence may be lacking, the circumstantial evidence seems to point to it.

No person with any racist feelings should ever take a job like this.
And they need to screen people better.
If he didn't see those kids then he could have trampled them.....but he didn't.....so probably racism.
Seems he looked right at them and said NO.
He / she DID high five all the white arms right before bypassing the cute little girls.

I would have dismissed racism if he HAD tripped over them.

Now wouldn't we all be stunned if it was a black person in the costume?
