Parents File $25M Racial Discrimination Lawsuit Against “Sesame Street” Theme Park Claiming Characters Ignored Their Daughter Because She’s Black

A family is suing a “Sesame Street”-themed amusement park for $25m over claims of racial discrimination because multiple costumed characters ignored a 5-year-old black girl during an event last month.

The lawsuit comes as a video was shared on social media showing two other black girls apparently being snubbed by a costumed employee during a parade at the park in Langhorne, outside Philadelphia.

The suit was filed against SeaWorld Parks, the owner of the “Sesame Place”, for ‘pervasive and appalling race discrimination.’

“Sesame Place” apologized in a statement and promised more training for its employees after the video went viral earlier this month.
