Activistas protestan contra Target en Minneapolis por disfraz racista

Activistas se congregaron frente a la sede de Target en Minneapolis el 28 de agosto exigiendo una explicación por un disfraz infantil de Halloween que, según ellos, evoca el maquillaje negro, informó FOX 9 Minneapolis-St. Paul. Target anunció que el 23 de agosto retiró el disfraz de payaso tras acusaciones de que imitaba imágenes racistas de la época del minstrel y pidió disculpas, diciendo que nunca debió venderse.

La polémica hizo que sus acciones cayeran alrededor de un 5 % en la primera sesión de negociación, informó KSL News. La retirada también fue cubierta por Yahoo y PBS, que describieron el diseño como parecido al blackface.
