If the costumed character WOULD HAVE touched the kids they probably would have complained about it being inapproriate.

These scumbags are looking for a payday no doubt.

i realize it can nothing... as i said, i don't know why the differences in the pics... i thought maybe the employee takes a cue from how the kids interact with him when he decides if he should touch or not... if a kid comes up to him and hugs him, of course he will hug back... if a kid comes up and just stands next to him, i can see that he would respect that kid's space...

i know this holds no weight here, but as a "Mexican-American" who was born and raised in the US, whose parents and grandparents and great grandparents and even further back were born and raised here, and who was taught that we are AMERICAN period, i do know what it's like to be treated differently... and i have seen some injustices simply because of ethnicity... it's an awful feeling... btw--i am not saying that's what the case is here... and i do know "white" people expeience it too...

i do realize i am "Caucasian."
