I'm not quite sure how I feel about this costume. These situations are always tricky because I see both sides. Why wouldn't the costume people try to make the costume look as much like the character as possible? But in this day in age when everyone is very sensitive about race, Disney should have seen this reaction coming. It's hard to believe that costume got past a whole team of PR agents and all the way to the public. Looks like someone is getting fired.
