February 11, 201313 yr A second African-American family is accusing a character at Disneyland of ignoring their child because of the color of their skin. 10 News reports the White family of San Diego says they complained to the park after a person dressed as Donald Duck refused to take a photo with their son, instead interacting with white children. Nastasia White says the character made a deliberate move away from her 5-year-old son Razzi, as he ran towards Donald yelling his name, to play with a baby in a stroller. White says the baby's parents encouraged Donald to take a photo with Razzi, but the character instead went and hugged a white child. She says there is no way she misread the situation. "I didn't (misread) because it was done in a blatant and ugly way," White told 10 News. Read more: Second family accuses Disneyland character of racism | Fox News
February 11, 201313 yr Author I would think this would be hard to prove. Also, it was odd reading this article the first time because it is the "White" family taking action against Disneyland.
February 11, 201313 yr The Whites hired the same attorney as a family who is suing Disneyland over alleged racism to represent them in a possible lawsuit. Is it possible? Yes. It's also very possible they're just after some money.
February 11, 201313 yr In this day in age where EVERYONE has a cell phone or digital camera, why isn't there video of this taking place? I would think "if" this did happen, the parents would be like "No one is going to believe this", which the next logical thought would be to take out the camera. They were at Disney with no camera or cellphone? If so then they are the first family to do so.
February 11, 201313 yr Racism like this is sooooo hard to prove without video or audio evidence. I always figured if there was a racist Disney character it would be Donald so I am not the least bit surprised. He is always so angry.
February 11, 201313 yr That is BAD if true. No little kid should ever have their dreams or fun dashed by some ignorant racist, especially when they portray a charachter the kid thinks is real and watches on TV every morning.

February 11, 201313 yr I thought this story was going to be about the Bidens.Have to admit, that came to mind for me as well.
