Halloween is still 6 months away, but the battle is heating up for what could be the season’s hottest costume.
Online activists are petitioning Amazon.com to pull the “Build the Wall” costumes that resemble a white brick wall with President Donald Trump’s words, “Mexico will pay!”
More than 500 people have signed a petition calling for Amazon to pull the costume.
Activists say the costume is insensitive to Mexicans, “and is nothing more than a modernized version of a Klu Klux Klan robe.”
“The Latinx community will not sit idly by as companies like Amazon help to further normalize white supremacy,” wrote Jerónimo Saldaña,” who created the petition.
“Latinx” is a gender inclusive term to describe people of Latin descent.
