Why would Target think this was a good idea in the first place?

#Target "apologized on Monday and said it had pulled a Halloween costume from sale depicting a circus clown that critics said evoked ​Blackface and minstrel shows.

"The product, sold as the "Kids' Glows Under Blacklight Circus Clown ‌Halloween Costume," prompted a backlash on social media, with some consumers saying it resembled a #racist caricature."
