Racist Much?: Sesame Place Performer Catches Heat For Ignoring Black Kids

July 19, 2022

A video of a performer at the Sesame Place amusement park blatantly ignoring two Black girls has sparked outrage online, with others sharing their own as the park fumbled an apology attempt.

On Sunday (July 17th), digital consultant Leslie Mac shared a video of a four-year-old Black girl named Paige and her friend watching the parade of performers dressed as characters from the beloved children’s show. A performer dressed as Rosita walked up, giving high-fives and saying hello to other children at the parade. As they approached Paige and her friend who had their arms outstretched for a hug, the Rosita character visibly waved them off with a “no” gesture and walks past. The original poster of the video was Paige’s mother, who reposted the short clip on her Instagram account. The clip sparked outrage among many online, including celebrities such as singer Kelly Rowland.
