Sesame Place theme park employee accused of racism Disneyland is not the first amusement park to be accused of such behavior. Recently, the Sesame Place theme park located in Philadelphia was accused of the same and also got embroiled in a $25 million racial discrimination lawsuit. In a jarring incident, a character named Rosita ignored two black girls at the theme park in what is now a viral video. The footage shows the character waving and interacting with children and families who happen to be Caucasian. However, when two black girls wait for the same, the character ignores them and moves to interact with the Caucasian kids beside them. The parents of the children were outraged. Other than netizens slamming the theme park, celebrities like Kelly Rowland and Whoopi Goldberg also publicly criticized them. A whopping lawsuit was filed against the park and along with it, a petition on Change.org was also launched. The petition demanded that the park and its parent company be held responsible for their racist behavior. It has raised over 26,000 signatures. The controversy gained a lot of traction online and in light of that, Sesame Place released a statement claiming that it was all just a "misunderstanding." The theme park added that the employee didn't intend to ignore the girls. Poll : 0 votes Quick Links More from Sportskeeda Edited by Madhur Dave × Feedback Thank You!
