I go to WDW all the time, but not until this last trip, a few weeks ago, that I clearly noticed something. Was it a fluke? When you go through security ( Magic Kingdom lets say ..because this is where I first noticed it)
Security checks your bags. Now as a white, "Mom looking" woman, I had a bag with 7 pockets, and the security guard literally glanced in my bag! I could have been carrying anything in that bag! The woman to my left was black, no children, and had a extremely small purse. They went through every lint filled corner of that little purse and then picked her to go through the metal detector! CLEARLY racial profiling. I started to intentionally "look" for that at the security entrances, and I was mortified to notice that if you are a minority, security goes through your bag with a fine tooth comb!! Disney? Yes, DISNEY. Has anybody else noticed this? They literally just glanced in my bag at every entrance. Can this be my imagination? If this is not my imagination, than something needs to done.. Racially profiling anywhere is disgusting and vile, but at Disney it seems particularly heinous. I would like to know if anybody has experienced this same thing at Disney?
