It sure doesn't look good. That being said, I don't know the character. Is this something they would do? And why did the character initially say no to someone behind and to the right of the girls before the girls? That part isn't explained. Is there some backstory there? I also really want to know the race of the person in the costume.
I feel like we're not getting the full story in the video and article. Nobody working at a kid's park is this obviously racist unless they're trying to get fired or start a controversy. Is this their first day on the job and first time encountering black kids? Doubtful.

It doesn't, but good god, how easy is it to see out of those things? probably not very.
I think the rise of the black demographic being more important to politicians and entertainers has done more to hurt the Latino community than a white dude being cast as Castro and WB cancelling a movie and a show (That is ALL about them trying to save $3B and not cancelling Latinos.)
Last time I checked the story of Alexander Hamilton and the founding fathers was a cracker story featuring nothing but YT. Yet, there's a bunch of black and Latino actors in those roles rapping around stage. I don't seem to remember John Leguizamo, Variety, or the LA Times speaking out about that show.
Call me crazy, but her opinion might have more importance than some of the others above.

Lots of people have pointed out to John that Franco's father and Castro came from the same small town in Spain.

Wait til they find out that Latinos are white people.

John Leguizamo thinks a Latino actor should have gotten it and thinks whitey is stealing "their stories".
Bill Maher is at war with the woke, and I'm here for it. He shreds Leguizamo's stance and points out his hypocrisy in the first few seconds then continues on to point out what a disaster this casting garbage is and how harmful it is to not just actors, but the people the woke think they're defending.
Znidarsic-Nicosia said the fried chicken was not meant as a racist trope but was simply a convenient food choice.
Znidarsic-Nicosia did admit to running an anonymous Twitter account that posted racist images and content but denied being racist. “I have made blatantly racist comments under that persona,” she said. “The culture of Twitter operates that way. It gives you an opportunity to be someone you’re not.”
