Oh good grief. When did we go from “this toy isn’t appropriate for my child, I will toss it in the trash.” to “this toy is clearly sending a racist political message, I must call the media and raise a huge outcry of its underlying significance to socio-political relationships in the US”? I guess everyone wants to play the victim card, and everyone wants their 15 minutes. If mom hadn’t started hyperventilating, the kid would have never noticed. Just pitch the thing in the trash.
It’s the culture of “I want my 15 minutes” on the Tube and now is my chance.
