Retailer Target caved in and removed an \u2018offensive\u2019 Black Panther costume after a single tweet from someone expressing feigned outrage.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cWhy is this WHITE boy pictured wearing a BLACK PANTHER costume on your website? This is BLACK ERASURE! POC finally have a super hero of their own, and you disrespect them by using a white person to promote the costume? SHAMEFUL! BOYCOTT!,\u201d complained Mark Dice, tagging Target in the tweet.<\/p>\n

Earlier this month, People reported that white parents were being advised not to let their kids wear Black Panther costumes for Halloween because it could be seen as \u201ccultural appropriation\u201d.<\/p>\n

Dice is a conservative commentator and the complaint was obviously a stunt, but Target complied anyway and removed the page for the costume within hours.<\/p>\n

Some people pointed out that the kid modeling the costume could even be a light skinned black boy, but Target pulled the product anyway.<\/p>\n

Now the only models seen wearing Black Panther costumes on Target\u2019s websites are all African-American.<\/p>\n

Dice then turned his attention to Walmart in an attempt to pull the same stunt.<\/p>\n
