Usually we hear about folks complaining their kids are being touched. Looks like we got a KKK rabbit here. Wonder if Robert Byrd got this guy a job before he kicked off?

"According to Fox5SanDiego.com, 6-year-old Jason Black Jr. approached his favorite character at the park, but was rebuffed. Jason told the station, “I went to hug him, but he turned his back. It’s made me feel sad because I wanted to really hug him.”
Older brother Elijah reportedly then tried to hold the rabbit’s hand, but was pushed away. At first, Jason Black Sr. thought perhaps a new “no touch” policy had been implemented in the park, until he observed the same character hugging the white children who approached him around the same time.
Black told local news station CBS2 Los Angeles that the White Rabbit had behaved warmly with the white children: “The rabbit ... hugged them, kissed them, posed with them and took pictures. Meanwhile, that made my kids feel horrible."

OP, I don't get your point.

Neither you nor I have any knowledge of whether the family's allegations are true, but does anyone dispute that if one of the entertainers at a theme park, or more than one, was routinely nice and friendly to white customers and was either hostile to or ignored black customers that that would constitute illegal discrimination?
