A Twitter video from Black "digital strategist" Leslie Mac showing the costumed "Sesame Street" Latina Muppet character Rosita waving off Mac's 4th birthday-celebrating daughter and her Black friend after high-fiving white kids at Sesame Place, the suburban Philadelphia theme park licensed by Sea World from Sesame Workshop, has received the predictable hubbub from the tweetybox, including similar videos from others and celeb comments from former Destiny's Child Kelly Rowland and Audra McDonald--the park says that the wave-off is a symbol indicating a policy that characters cannot hold on to kids for photo taking and invited the Mac family for a private meet-and-greet, Mac says that the invitation never happened and accused them of lying, Sesame Workshop says that they are asking the park to initiate anti-racism training for employees:
