@obumTarget actually apologized for that Halloween costume. The backlash hit hard because it resembled Blackface and 19th-century minstrel shows.

About this photo
The image is a collage featuring a historical illustration of a minstrel performer on the left, a caricature of a blackface character in an inset, and a product listing for a children's circus clown costume from Target on the right. The minstrel performer is depicted in exaggerated costume with a wide grin and a raised arm. The inset shows a close-up of a blackface character with a large, toothy smile and a red hat. The Target listing displays a child wearing an orange and black diamond-patterned clown costume. The mood is unsettling and highlights the problematic history of blackface imagery.
