A McDonald's in Massachusetts recently came under fire from customers who were upset by a display of seasonal Halloween stickers they deemed to be insensitive and possibly racist. - TODAYshow
"My friends and I were completely shocked that a large establishment like McDonald's would put decorations like these up for all to see. It’s disgusting, insensitive and I can’t believe someone thought this was a good idea," Pocock told TODAY Food on Monday.
On Twitter, a lot of people were also outraged by the image, which some said was suggestive of a lynching scene. Definitely not appropriate. Why are we associating Halloween with lynching which obviously this is undoubtedly a display of such an act.A few folks, however, saw the black-and-orange stickers as being similar to any other Halloween-themed display with symbols of death and gore.
Uhhh, Halloween is associated with death in any number of horrible ways - it's the season of gory horror movies after all...Some felt that such opinionated outrage should be kept private, while others said they felt that a"public space" like McDonald's has a responsibility to not display anything that could be seen as offensive to a variety of patrons.
Pocock said that a restaurant staff member removed the decor when a news crew arrived at the location later that day.
