Racist caricature seen on Connecticut holiday festival ride
GREENWICH, Conn. — A holiday festival in Connecticut is being criticized for a children’s ride that includes what some festivalgoers saw as a racist caricature that depicts a black cannibal in a loin cloth trying to cook a white man.
The Greenwich Time reports (http://bit.ly/2hvJclz ) the images appeared on the Safari Train at the Sam Bridge Nursery’s Reindeer Festival in Greenwich.
The black man is depicted with oversized red lips and a bone in his hair.
