Its 211 days until Halloween, but online activists are already petitioning Amazon to remove a Donald Trump-themed costume they claim is racist.
For $20 or less, Amazon offers a nylon and spandex white onesie with a brick wall print and the words, Mexico will pay!
Over the past 10 days, more than 500 people have signed a petition calling for Amazon to stop selling the outfit.
The costume advertised on Amazons website promotes this despicable xenophobia and is nothing more than a modernized version of a Klu Klux Klan robe. The Latinx community will not sit idly by as companies like Amazon help to further normalize white supremacy, wrote Jerónimo Saldaña, who is affiliated with the activist group Mijente, and who created the petition.
By deadline, Amazon did not respond to Heat Streets request for comment. Online, Amazon states that the company prohibits offensive products, including items that promote or glorify hatred, violence, racial, sexual or religious intolerance.
In the past year, Amazon has pulled a sexy burka costume, as well as a doormat with the word Allah on it.

When I don’t like something Amazon sells, I don’t buy it. Am I doing it wrong?
Isn’t the border wall costume to make a mockery of the wall anyways? Don’t libs actually understand what is satire from their own side?
xenophobia...
I WIN LIBERAL MADE UP WORDS BINGO AGAIN!! :)
Yes, you are. You're supposed to make a scene and get it taken off the market so no one can buy it. /S
So then Democrats are wearing it?
I love this shirt...
Latinx = no credibility.
My costume just got 10 feet higher.
Good one.
How do people even find this stuff?
Libs have no sense of irony. Or humor.
Yes, you are wrong....you should DEMAND a safe space from ALL things you do NOT like.
It’s the Marxist way!
I became convinced, during the Obama years, that he had installed several rooms of computer geeks in the White House. Their sole raisin d’ etre was to scrub anything negative about him, to monitor Conservative websites and counter the Right, and to seek out anything that they could complain about in regards to political correctness. Some things that Obama said were really stupid, but you had a hard time finding the stupidity a week later. So, I suspect there are geeks now, living near his fortress in Kalorama, DC, seeking out ‘offensive’ products, so they can be eliminated.
I will soon make sure Friedman and Krugman’s books are off of Amazon. Excellent!
I like that too.
