Yes, race is an idea, not a fact.
I'm not convinced that some producer had this kid get into a watermelon costume as a racist prank and without the boy's and mom or dad's permission.
I tried to look this up on other websites but couldn't find any other stories, much less any factual evidence that this was a racist prank. It's a distraction, in my opinion.
What if the boy is biracial? Is the costume still racist then? Half racist?
