| Walmart's racist costume |
AN AD showing a boy wearing a Chinese costume while pulling his eyes back has been pulled from Amazon following backlash from the internet, reports the Mirror.
The costumes were sold by third party companies Atosa and Fyasa.
We Are Resonate reports neither company has issued an apology.
Amazon issued a one line statement saying “The products in question have been
removed.”
Meanwhile, Walmart.com is facing criticism for it’s China Boy costume.
While there is no slant-eyed gesture in the ad, many remarked the costume’s name is too close to the racial slur Chinaman.
