It was filed in Orange County, Florida that shows photos back in February and March with the character making an upside down, "OK" hand gesture that was adopted by white supremacists One of the victims is a bi-racial girl and the other is a 5 y/o Hispanic girl It states "He openly and pointedly displayed towards them a universally known and universally used hate symbol that indicates white power" The white power hand signal has become openly and widely used to express hatred towards a segment of the population based upon a person's race, colour and national origin The Anti-Defamation League labeled the "OK" hand gesture as a form of hate speech. The lawsuit states "She wanted to show the picture to her classmates but her parents told her she couldn't because a man did a bad thing to her beause he did not like her because of her race and colour" A month later, this same actor did it again with another young hispanic girl and in both incidents, the character's handler or the park did nothing to stop it This happened back in 2019 as the theme park did not disclose the actor's name or say who it was or if they are still employed Does this look like the man in this oversized costume was using the white power sign? https://i.imgur.com/S5Y04pj.jpg https://i.imgur.com/BdMpWjq.jpg https://i.imgur.com/KQhSs3s.jpg --- The News Will Continue...For Now call me mrduckbear, sweater monkeys.

How is this not laughed out of court immediately? There are no damages in a case like this, and -- in the case of the first photo -- they probably didn't even notice his hand until after looking at the photos later. And the first photo at least looks like it might have been unintentional. The second photo makes it look like the guy was trying to be a dick, which was also stupid because of course he'd get in trouble for that. Full Throttle posted... One of the victims Oh lawdy... This isn't a "victims" kind of case. Nor did either child see him do it, it seemed to be trolling the parents. --- (\/)(\/)\|-\| There are precious few at ease / With moral ambiguities / So we act as though they don't exist. <cite>Zeus posted [p:955991769] in Universal ...

College aged guys are kinda known for doing stupid shit, so is it unfathomable that they would agree to all do the "look at my dick" usage or to ironically do it in the racist manner? Like even something much, much more overt like the nazi salute can be done by someone without them literally being a neonazi. <cite>Reigning_King posted [p:955995787] in Universal ...
