No, it's because I'm a character attendant at The Magic Kingdom, and I work with them all the time, and know how Meet and Greets usually go down. I'm not saying I know for sure that that's not why, I'm just saying that there are lots of other possibilities too, and I don't think we should jump to conclusions when we're only getting one half of the story.
I'm not saying your feelings are justified, I'm just saying that there's no good reason that someone should lose their job because of how they feel. Especially when there's no proof that's why the character did what they did.
@@angel-nv7jk that is no where near the same thing. Donald was purposely ignoring them for their race. was the mcdonalds employee ignoring u for ur race?
I waited in line to take pictures with storm troopers at Disney Hollywood studios and they took pics with everyone in front of me and when it got to my turn they literally turned around and walked off. The girls who had been in front of me even said what the heck? Now in my case I don’t think it was for race because I’m a basic white girl, but it doesn’t surprise me that a character at Disney was a jerk to someone who waited in line to take pics.
I think her point was they were already at the front of the line when those 3 minutes of being walked around started. Plus other parents addressed their child was first too even and he still dodged them. They stopped waiting because it was obvious and embarrassing.
BuddyLove 4000 they were probably next in line, ready to get called to meet him but he ignored them going out and hugging others, and once they decided to leave he hugged the white kids who were behind the black family.
so if a disney mascot/character just walks on by not doing anything, any family can sue? I presume we are living in a world were people are trying to find ways for easy fast cash.
xtremepyrotech LOL. I can imagine the excuses these people will make to get a fast buck "OH NOES THE HOT WINGS I ATE BEFORE ENTERING DISNEY LAND MADE ME HAVE DIARRHEA I NEEDS TAH SUE DISKNEE WORLD CAUSE I LEAKED CHOCOLATE WATER WAHHHHHHH" "A customer passed me and I felt unsafe, so I going to sue Disney" "I ran real fast and bashed my face against a concrete wall, Im gonna sue Disney" "I acted like a douche on the ride, Im going to sue Disney because I felt bored afterwards" Reminds me of all those ridiculous lawsuits made by overweight people who kept eating at mcdonalds. ROFL
I’ve been going to Disneyland since the 80s. I’m white, I’ve lost count how many times a character has snubbed me and walked away after waiting. Often times they have to leave and are on a schedule. As I’ve grown up, I’ve made plenty of friends who have has jobs being characters, even girls from high school who made it as princess’s. They have said the costumes are honestly really hard to see out of and often times you you have sweat in your eyes on hot days and you just have to stand there and deal poor visibility and don’t get to everyone and people get pissed.
@@drowsy.666 Yo you weren't even there. Those mascots have to hug thousands of children a day and as soon as one black kid didn't get their hug it's all about RACISM REEE- A staff member in the comment section stated, that there are so many possibilities why this could have happened, so don't jump into any conclusions if you don't know SHIT.
Bruh , literally i have gone to Disneyland before and usually the characters interact with people at the back of the line so if they atleast don’t get a photo or talk to him they get to wave and see him. I was first in line and I am white , and there were mostly black people behind me and I was at Goofy’s station. He was shaking their hands and high fiving them and hugging them , but I don’t go straight to racism , they were at the back and I was at the front so they need attention too like 🤦🏼♀️
@@JordanWilliams-ix2td come on lady get your head out of your ass already! Democrats started the KKK and wanted to continue with slavery they're also responsible for the jim crow laws! Keep voting for the same idiots keeping you in chains!
I think there is one thing people tend to forget, there is little to no vision in those costumes. The performers have very limited visibility in the suits so they probably can't see or maybe hear that well. So I think what happened was that the child tried to get Donald's attention but the performer probably didn't see them.
Yeah let's keep making excuses on this racist asf place. It is no secret the place is effin racist. So here are in 2022 and the bs is being caught on camera cell phones now. Go and try and gaslight somewhere else.
I worked at Kings Island in Mason Ohio for 8 summers and knew a lot of the people who were characters and their field of vision is minimal so they have these girls that would walk around with them so they would not step on little kids, they can’t hear very good either
What a joke. Maybe we should pass a law that says that all cartoon characters have to touch ALL the children at Disneyland, and if they don't then they have to go to prison for the rest of their life.
@King Clover I'm so sick of people playing the race card all the time. It really has gone insane now. One character ignored their child and they're up in arms about it and take it to the press and even want to press charges. Fucking pathetic. Disney characters are busy and don't have enough time to interact with everyone. They have schedules to deal with aswell. This family are a joke. I have no sympathy for them because they are doing it for money. If the employee in the Donald suit actually said a racist remark and it got taped then I could definitely understand the uproar. The fact that the kid didn't get noticed is not something to get so angry about. I've seen plenty of white children being ignored at Disneyland but their parents didn't go to the national press and complain. Absolutely moronic.
Three minutes is long and he went up to Donald while Donald wasn’t even occupied he was walking up to him saying Donald any other character would have turned around and hugged him😐
ParadiseGamer808 u don't know that. Black people are treated much different than white people and if you are white, u wouldn't understand. People judge blacks by their looks while whites aren't even judged. So don't think she's playing cause you don't know the struggles of being black.... if you're white. Just so u know I'm not teyjng to be rude. I'm just stating facts.
I kind of wanted to scream at the 3 minutes part. When I went to Disney, I waited for over an hour to see Elsa because of the extremely long line and because people were cutting in front of multiple families using the excuse: "I'm with somebody." You can wait 3 damn minutes to see Donald. Calm down.
I've literally waited hours to see the Mickey mouse character with my kids and this lady is claiming racism because she had to wait more than 3 min to see Donald duck? Lawsuit!? Wtaf!? LMFAO!😂
@@Lante216 dude, if you look at the context, those kids the guy hugged were kind of there first. And when you think about it, the Disney employees in them costumes have a lot of kids who overwhelm them on a daily basis. Sometimes they just can't get to everyone. Doesn't mean it's racist. Racism would be them purposely avoiding a certain race and even uttering slurs. Which, when I checked, didn't happened. The worker was just overwhelmed by children and families. You're just quick to jump to race because that's all you see. People's skin color over a more logical explanation, which is a sick way to think.
I waited at the front of the line for 20 minutes to see Goofy, and I'm white. Then again, there was some asshole family with 10 kids and twenty cameras that wanted every single fucking combination of children possible. The 3 minutes thing kinda made me jump the shark on this one.
Oh my GOD! Have you ever considered that the employee is OVERWHELMED WITH AN ARMY OF CHILDREN!!??!! He probably wanted to see the baby and then got overwhelmed by other kids! They need to stop driving the whole "Oh you ignore me so you're racist!" Narrative. I don't blamed the employees for laughing. This is a desperate call for attention. If the family tried to put themselves in the employees shoes, they'd realized how overwhelming it can be when a hundred kids want to hug you because of the fluffy and friendly suit you're wearing!
Than why did he hug all the other white kids behind them, they were the first in line how the fuck did he see the kids behind them but not him. White people back at it again always trying to discount any greviance that black people have to make it seem like they were the unreasonable crazy ones when all theyre expecting is some basic respect afforded to other white kids. Your country is pathetic
All of these families need to learn that being a mascot IS. NOOOOT. Easy. While in the costume, you can barely tell white from black! It's already enough effort to be happy and hoppy in those things.
Pretty much it is like walking around with those huge animal slippers on but bigger and heavier. And your head feels like you are wearing a really top heavy motorcycle helmet that has built in goggles that only allow you to see straight ahead and you have to balance a 3 tiered wedding cake on top of it.
I know this stuff happens, but trust me I've seen a lot of kids get left out by characters, Black and White. Because many times the characters are on strict time lines. They have to follow the time frames because the last thing you want is seeing two of the same character in the same place even for a second. Besides a lot of kids are annoying. I saw this one kids around 5 told multiple times that he couldn't pull on Mickey, it was during a dance party, and Mickey was in the crowd dancing like he was meant to. But this kid would not let up! They had to move Mickey away from the kid. And I'll say it the little boy was black. There were other black and white children that were told the same thing and they listened. The child's mother didn't seem to give a damn what he was doing, but she did drag him back to his stroller when Mickey was moving away. Again there are cases of people in costumes being asses, but you gotta remember that other kids might be the cause of things.
You didnt get a photo? You'll get it next time! Its not racist! One time at Disney, it was me a white and black girls(im mexican) and Donald tried to give a hug to every kid, but he couldn't because the character was being taken away...Plus, he had like literally 20 kids behind him.. he cannot pay attention to every single kid at the same time! Come on! Thats why you go to Disney many times! To see diferent characters and now again have apportunity to take a pic and hug them! Grow up!
Yes, and characters that are "in-suit" are, in my experience, very limited on how long they can appear for due to safety procedures. Even with "cooling vests" and other such items, it gets VERY hot inside of these suits and it necessitates certain limitations on how long characters are allowed to appear for when inside of their suits.
there are tons of kids/people trying to get the characters attention, it's hard for these people to go to everyone, and sometimes kids cry when they are approached. my daughters were over looked by characters quite a few times when they were kids, I didn't see it as racist just too busy!!! my kids were just happy to be at Disneyland!!
Rm16 "Clearly she's just complaining for attention." Clearly she was upset that her child had to experience blatant racism. The stupid mascot *DELIBERATELY* ignored the black boy so that it could play with white children. How more obvious can you make it that you're racist? You're damn right she asked for fast passes. She wants her son to enjoy his visit and meet his favourite characters like the white children get to. None of this would have happened if the mascot wasn't racist. And the fact that this is the second claim just proves that there are racist employees.
Happend to a Goofy character. He was about to leave while a kid run up to him but he did not see it. Mother ranted about racism, he gave kid a autograph and special time, then turned to mother and pulled his sleave up to show his black skin color.
I got knocked down my the guy playing Tigger once, I knew it was an accident so I wasn't mad, a cast member took me to guest services, I got a bandage rapped around my arm because I scrapped it a bit but I just got my arm rapped up and went about my day I'm wasn't going to sue Disney for what was clearly an accident
omg. People get so offended over the smalled things. Do they not realize that these characters are in costumes that limit their vision and hearing?! There are adults and children everywhere and not everyone is going to get a chance to interact with the characters. I seriously doubt that race had anything to do with what happened. The ambulance chasing lawyers are just stirring things up.
b1njjj95 dude, she only waited for Donald Duck for 3 minutes. Saying that the mascot only went for white children is dumb because she only saw him for 3 minutes. What if when she left, he was interacting with children of color. She clearly just wants the money. No person would just say it’s racism for nothing. She just wanted the fast passes. Those suits are very difficult to see or move in. And with hundreds of people a day pushing and shoving you, it’s easy to miss one child. This was not because of racism, she just wanted the free passes and used race as a way to escape being called a greedy pig.
Grass Reindeer I fail to understand how a mascot can miss a child that was making their presence very known. I'd understand if the child was quiet and didn't move, but come on! The child was RIGHT THERE! It's not far-fetched to believe that the mascot truly did not want to interact with the child. Even if it wasn't out of racism, it still looks suspicious that the mascot ignored a child that was right in front of them, but had no problem interacting with the other children. Edit: Remember, this took place in America. Racism against poc is very common in the US, so I'm not surprised that the mother filed a lawsuit. Disney has a dark history when it comes to racism.
b1njjj95 well, two things include the fact that the suits make it very difficult to here, so anyone who is trying to get their attention just sounds like muffled voices. Secondly, it’s very hard to see anywhere besides forward, so the mascot might have missed him because of how small he was
Why are people so stupid these days?! Mother: OH MAI MY SUN DIDN'T GET A HUG FROM DONALD DUCK! RAAACISM RAACISM!! Kid: i don't really care.. Mother: *slaps child* SHUT THE HELL UP AND ACT SAD Kid: *cries* Mother: LOOK HOW SAD MY KID IS? WE AREN'T COMING TO DISNEY NEXT YEAR!! ( goes to Disney next year and still doesn't get a hug ) Mother: RACISM AGAIN! *sues Disney for the next 20 years*
Disney characters shouldn’t be mean to any child regardless unless the child is being violent, mean, aggressive, etc.. don’t reward bad behavior but don’t just downright treat a kid bad because you don’t like something about their appearances. It’s more hurtful when someone they idolize hurts them. We expect strangers to be mean, not our heroes and champions. Heroes bullying the people who look up to them actually destroy my faith in humanity.
Prankster Aleks actually Thant’s not true. It’s not possible for someone of a minority race to be possible. It’s called Prejudice. Race was a concept that categorized people based on the color of there skin but it was made to give white people power. Therefore it’s not possible for anyone that’s not white to be racist. 😐 sorry
Omg why didn’t I think of that! Oh, it’s because my brain actually works. If he can see a baby, toddler, a child then he can definitely see the boy. Ever thought of that?😃
Disneylover 15 I don't think they were trying to get money, I believe they were a tad bit rash jumping to racism. These terms are trown around so losely now a days
You can’t see in one of those outfits so the person might have literally not seen the kid or saw the kid misbehaving and decided to not give the kid attention.
Yeah I use to be a mascot, and there were certain kids when I went to give them hugs when asked too, they'd slap me in the face, and the family would just laugh. I that for three years, overtime I learned to read guest very carefully. Theres a lot of weight and pressure in those mask, and hurts a lot. Only people I could really let my guard down with as a mascot was children who were 6 and under.
@@ccb.8603 is race the only thing you see in life? Seriously it’s hard to see so it’s not crazy to say they saw one person over the other. You know not everything is racist.
I'm black and I'm embarrassed that other black people are not condemning other black people that are hollering racism about everything. I don't need a fictional character for nothing but temporary entertainment. How stupid can things get. People are just tired of black people complaining about nothing and everybody being racist!
As a kid around 6 years old I never got to take a picture with Minnie Mouse. She’d always walk away when I’d see her. Probably too late to cry racism for me.
I bet The person in the costume didnt see them. I almost bumped into a character once because he didnt see me, But if this about race, WoW Disney....WoW
It is all about a fun and entertaining experience, I was a mascot for my school in my senior year. One time I was so sweaty I wanted to get the heck out of the costume, this mascot I'm almost positive was not in the right mind to be in the heat for the whole day.
So now people are complaining that a stranger in a costume won’t touch their children? 🤣 The people in the masked costumes have no peripheral vision to speak of. There are literally thousands of people that flock to them. Excuse the duck for not noticing one kid out of many. This is just to get money from the Mouse. People have been doing that since the parks opened.
Brett I know right! It took 3 minutes for the mascot to acknowledge the black boy, yet it took 30 seconds for the mascot to acknowledge and interact with the white girl.
