Sesame Place Faces Backlash After Character Ignores Black Children
In a video posted online, a mother showed her experience at the Sesame Park theme park in Pennsylvania of her two daughters waving to character “Rosita” but being ignored. The mother alleges that the character went on to hug other children in the waiting area.
There are accusations of racism tied to the event as the two girls are Black.
Sesame Park released a statement saying that the performer “confirmed that the ‘no’ hand gesture seen several times in the video was not directed to any specific person, rather it was a response to multiple requests from someone in the crowd who asked Rosita to hold their child for a photo which is not permitted.”
