I guess this isn’t really much of a decision to be made here because as we all know EVERYTHING is racist these days. Someone in Florida made the “OK” sign with their fingers and once again the heavens abound with screams of racism.
ORLANDO, Fla. (KKTV/Gray News) – A Colorado family was concerned by a potentially hateful gesture when looking at pictures and videos from a vacation to Universal Orlando.
In one of their videos, the daughter of Tiffany and Richard Zinger was posing with the character Gru from “Despicable Me.” As the character posed for the photo with the young black girl, the person in the suit made the “OK” symbol on the girl’s shoulder.
The video was taken inside one of the resort’s hotels in March.
And here it is. A video so disturbingly racist that I’m going to issue a warning that you will almost certainly be offended by it. But seriously, if nothing else you will almost certainly lose a few brain cells over the stupidity of all this.
Mr. Zinger remained eerily silent during his wife’s diatribe. Perhaps he has lost the powers of speech but I doubt it. By the looks of him he doesn’t appear to be too bright so maybe Mrs. Zinger told him to shut up before the interview. “Yes, dear.”
The parents, both veterans who served in Iraq, said it didn’t appear to be a harmless gesture to them. They shared the video with KKTV but asked that their daughter not be identified.
The Anti-Defamation League announced in September that it is a racist symbol in some contexts. The family of the young girl believes that may have been the intention of the person in the costume.
Well, there you have it. The Anti-Defamation declares it a racist symbol so therefore it must be true. AND the ugly liberal chick from Vanderbilt with the hideous set of choppers backs up their claims so it must be so.
Tom Schroder, a spokesman for NBC Universal Orlando, apologized to the family and said they never want guests to experience what they did.
“We are taking steps to make sure nothing like this happens again,” he stated. “We can’t discuss specifics about this incident, but we can confirm that the actor no longer works here. We remain in contact with the family and will work with them privately to make this right.”
“To make this right.” My guess is the Zinger’s have some money coming their way. God, this is disgusting. I’m surprised they aren’t also claiming that Despicable Me lured the child into his racist clutches with the two bananas he’s holding.
Now THAT would be racist. And another thing, why isn’t the actual Despicable Me character also being called racist himself? I mean with that nose he appears to be Jewish and they call him despicable? That’s anti-Semitism if I ever saw it!!! Why aren’t the libs jumping all over this too?!? See? I can be just as ridiculous as they are if I try really hard.
Anyway, what do you think? Racist attack or much ado about nothing?
