PHILADELPHIA - A law firm on Wednesday filed a class action lawsuit against SeaWorld, the parent company of Sesame Place, seeking millions in damages for alleged discrimination during a family's visit to the amusement park earlier this year.
Lawyers from Murphy, Falcon & Murphy held a press conference Wednesday in Philadelphia alongside Quinton Burns and his daughter Kennedi. They claim the father and daughter visited the park on Father's Day and the 5-year-old was snubbed by several characters during a meet-and-greet.
Attorney Malcolm Ruff said Kennedi was ignored "among a sea of white children" who the characters interacted with instead. The lawsuit, according to Ruff, was filed on behalf of any other Black family or person who believes they were discriminated against at Sesame Place.

Frivolous lawsuit.
A new version of the slip and fall scam, or those people who jump on car hoods and pretend that the car hit them. “I was trying to hug a Sesame Street character, and he/she ignored me! Give me millions for racial discrimination!”
I see that the lawyers are trying to get others to come forward and tell the same tale. It is going to be hilarious if the employee turns out to be black.
This is just legal extortion. They hope for a nice payout to drop the case so the publicity goes away. Chances of proving their case and winning in court are slim - but the legal cost and the marketing image hit are higher than paying these parasites off. Shakespeare had it right!!!
