10News - Second family files lawsuit, alleges racism at Disneyland - 10News.com - Team 10 Investigates: SAN DIEGO - A second family has come forward with claims that a Disneyland character ignored their children because of the color of their skin.

In a photo, a smiling 5-year-old Razzi White stands near a Star Wars stormtrooper. His mother, Nastasia White, said it was the only photo he took that day with a character, but he wanted one more.

"I was upset and hurt. He was very sad," said White.

On December 10, the White family celebrated the birthday of two-year-old Ryder.

At Disneyland's Main Street, White said Razzi walked to within three feet of Donald Duck.

"He was sitting there with his arms open, saying, 'Donald, Donald!'" said White.

White said Donald Duck made a deliberate move away from him and went to play with a baby in a stroller.
