The problem of White Supremacy - Spinoff from Buffalo Shooting thread
A Maryland family has sued a Sesame Street theme park for $25m alleging that multiple costumed characters ignored their five-year-old Black daughter and other Black guests.
The federal lawsuit was filed in Pennsylvania’s eastern district court and seeks class action status. It argues that Quinton Burns, his daughter and other Black guests were ignored during a 18 June meet-and-greet event at the amusement park by four costumed employees dressed as various Sesame Street characters.
The suit seeks $25m in damages from SeaWorld Parks and Entertainment, the owner of Sesame Place Philadelphia.
“SeaWorld’s performers readily engaged with numerous similarly situated white customers,” read the lawsuit,
reported the Associated Press.
Plaintiffs in the suit also want the park to implement mandated cultural sensitivity classes and courses about the history of discrimination,
reported NBC news.
It is unclear how many additional people will join the lawsuit..........
