A Black family from San Diego is suing Disneyland because it claims the White Rabbit character was only kind to white children. The rabbit is also a party to the lawsuit.
(It's okay, we are laughing at that last quip, too.)
Two children Elijah and Jason, were more than a little miffed when the rabbit pulled a Suze Orman and DENIED their affections.
The Black family (both their name and skin color) claims that the encounter occurred last summer at the Anaheim park. The family alleges that the rude rabbit refused to hold the hands of the Black children and ignored them. The Blacks allege to have seen the same rabbit posing with white children a few minutes later.
One of the Black children said, "I went to hug him but he turned his back. It's made me feel sad because I wanted to really hug him."
The older brother says he tried to hold the rabbit's hand but the rabbit kept pushing it away.
Not to sound harsh, but life is tough, kids.
If a pretend animal's refusal to give you a hug hurts your feelings, get over it. You will be denied many hugs in life and perhaps your parents should give you a few more.
Stop the whining. However, this is what we expect from children of parents who sue over something as trivial as this.
Apparently, the lawyers for the Black family have been trying to negotiate with Disney but to no avail. As we would expect.
When the family filed a complaint with the park, Disney offered the family VIP passes. The family refused. Disney also offered to settle out of court for $500. The family also refused.
Although the family has demanded a public apology from Disney and the firing of the White rabbit, the park has not budged. And we don't blame them. (It's okay, we are laughing at that last quip, too.)

Unless something is really racist, put down the race card.
Please sit down, Black family.
