A San Diego family sued Disneyland, alleging that an employee in a white rabbit costume at the amusement park is racist and treated their African-American children differently than white children.

Jason and Annelia Black visited the amusement park in Anaheim, Calif., and said the Alice in Wonderland character refused to acknowledge their children in contract to the whote kids who approached for hugs and pictures.

According to Fox5SanDiego.com, 6-year-old Jason Black Jr. approached his favorite character at the park but was ignored. He told the news station, "I went to hug him, but he turned his back. It's made me feel sad because I wanted to really hug him."

Older brother Elijah reportedly then tried to hold the rabbit's hand, but was pushed away. At first their father thought there was a new "no touch" policy in the park, until he saw the same character hug white children who approached him around the same time.

The family filed a lawsuit against Disneyland, claiming that the children were discriminated against because of their skincolor by the employee under the rabbit costume.

After filing a complaint the family was offered VIP passes, which they reportedly refused. CBS2 also reports that the family was offered $500 to sign a confidentiality agreement that they also declined. In their lawsuit they are asking Disney for a public apology and to fire the actor portraying the White Rabbit.

Suzi Brown, director, media relations and external communications at Disneyland Resort, said in a statement to Yahoo! News, "It would be inappropriate to comment on something that we have not seen. We carefully review all guest claims."
