Target apologized for a Halloween circus clown costume that critics said appeared to conjure Blackface and 19th-century minstrel shows.
The costume, sold as the "Kids' Glows Under ?Blacklight Circus Clown Halloween Costume," prompted a social media backlash.
"As a company, we know we got this wrong, and we are deeply sorry. The costume is offensive and should never have been part of our assortment," Target said in a statement.

Never apologize

I’m thought Ole Miss fans bought them all?

You have to inspect that for a very long time to find something to be offended about.

"Resembled"
From the French
"Looks absolutely nothing like"
How can you "get something wrong" unless it was intentional?
How is it offensive? Creepy clowns are offensive now?
Or is it the black kid that's offensive, target? Can blacks not be clowns?

They tried to be "equitable" and stuck a black kid in it. If the kid had been white or asian you would have never heard of any of this. Morons.

With that grin? We’d have heard about it. Wonder if other stores pulled.

Costumes bad. Shootings, no prob

The costume doesn’t resemble “Jim Crow.” What a retarded thing to get upset about.

Target deserves every bit of this.

That costume would look a lot different if a white kid were in it.
How's it blackface if a black kid is wearing it anyway?

And that is how it is said as well.

And it a black kid because of equity and inclusion.
I bet 90% of their costume models are some shade of brown.

So will the black family whose kid modeled for the photograph also have to apologize and give back the money they were paid?
This is quite the stretch.

Yep. Someone in the ad department trying to meet the DEI quota done messed up.
Still shouldn't have apologized, though.
