This reminds me of a very unfortunate situation one Halloween night when a friend’s kid was yelled at for wearing blackface. The white parents were taking their kid out dressed as George Washington Carver (go figure). But the family was new to the area so the lady who answered the door only saw the parents at the curb and glanced at the child, but didn’t know that this boy was adopted and assumed it was a white boy wearing blackface

I'm sitting here wondering how a kid dresses recognizably as George Washington Carver--I know who he was, but not what he looked like. Giant peanut prop, maybe?
