Retail giant Target came under fire this week for selling a "Blacklight Circus Clown Halloween Costume," which essentially amounted to a kid in blackface dressed like a Jim Crow-era minstrel. Whoops! However, that wasn't the only costume Target was forced to pull from its shelves.
Here are seven other costumes that got the axe:

You know they couldn't help this.
#4....a White kid? apparently The Bee also fears backlash from a certain ethnicity.
The kid looks like he has a gold “grill,” if you look closely. LOL!!!
I saw Bank Owner and almost spewed Sprite on my iPad.
Casino operator and Spy are very good. I about lost it on ‘Banker”.
Yeah I saw that.
Not statistically accurate IMO.
It’s the same kid for each costume. The Bee is making fun of the left’s conniption fits over “cultural appropriation”.
The 7-11 manager reminds me of the Joe Biden comment about 7-11s in Delaware requiring an Indian accent.
I saw a racist costume in a store the other day: a sombrero, a serape, and a toy lawnmower. Just joking.
The ad wasn’t a white kid in blackface, but a black kid in clown face. You have to ridicule these idiots in to obscurity.
Walking into a Walmart ten years ago I saw a big shiny riding mower on display by the entrance. A weary young Latino woman came in with five little offspring who commenced running around the tractor screaming “Poppi! Poppi!”.
A few Caucasion shoppers and myself looked at each other sharing the same thought: Living the stereotype.
This kind of crap is stealing what used to be fun. Democrats ruin everything.
LMAO!
This one’s solid gold.
I was sitting outside an eatery once smokin’ a cig when a black family walked up. there was a young kid with them who jumped up and hung by a tree branch and swung back and forth turning his head on each change of swing direction. I knew exactly what the kid was doin, mimicking the antics of some pro NBA players after a good dunk! But to the mother lmao... seeing me watching the kid, grabbed that little guy and about whooped his ass, no doubt thinking he looked like a swinging monkey.... I just got up and walked away smh...
Who are you kidding?
I saw that in my neighbor’s front yard.
