• San Diego family slaps Disneyland with charges of racism, say ‘White Rabbit’ character shunned their kids because they are black
Jason and Annelia Black say the costumed character ignored their children, but 'showered' affection on a white family moments later. 'It made my kids feel horrible,' Jason Black said.
A San Diego family is suing Disneyland, claiming a theme park character snubbed their kids because they are black.
Jason and Annelia Black of San Diego claimed an actor in a costume for the White Rabbit character from “Alice in Wonderland” ignored their two sons and their cousins, who are black, during a trip in August, but then “showered” affection on a group of white children.
“Regardless of whether the guy in the costume was a racist – I don't know who he is or if he’s white – the way he behaved, he was treating my clients differently,” the family’s attorney, Dan Gilleon, told the Daily News.
“And the only thing that was different about them was that they were black.”
Disneyland has not commented on the incident, but says they carefully review all claims.
The Black family had visited the park just weeks before the incident and were not ignored by the rabbit, who is their son Jason Jr.’s favorite character, Gilleon said.
But when they went to the park with some cousins on Aug. 11, the rabbit character shunned them, they claimed.

Maybe the kids were hiding spray paint for graffiti, if we could get the rabbit to turn around....

And if you go chasing rabbits
And you know you’re going to fall
Tell ‘em a hookah smoking caterpillar
Has given you the call
To call Alice, when she was just small
Go ask Alice, I think she’ll know.

Ya hafta tip the damn rabbit, and he don’t except no foo stams!
I was in Disneyland years ago. Thought it was just an overpriced amusement park. Nothing special. There is an amusement park across town from where I live. Cheaper, better attractions and I can go home and sleep in my own bed.
Free money. Disney will just pay these hustlers to go away.
“Good Lord we have a black President are these people ever gonna be happy”
Nope! Until the day whitey and the honkeys are eradicated, they won’t stop bitching.

Rabbit afraid of getting mugged?

Maybe they should have shared some of their Skittles and tea with the White Rabbit..
