'Barcelona Star'Hafinya accused Disneyland of racism.

It is a shocking claim that the popular squirrel mascot 'Chip and Dale' in Paris Disneyland, which went with his son Gael, only hugged white children and ignored his son because of his skin color.

Hafinya posted a series of videos on social media, which showed his son Gael appearing to be repeatedly ignored by squirrel mascot Chip and Dale at Disneyland in Paris. Hafinya's son is seen standing on one side while the mascot embraces several children, and Gael seems to be encouraged to approach the mascot, but the mascot does not hug Gael and immediately gets up and walks away. Gael continued to try to attract the mascot's attention and went to the Disneyland staff for a brief conversation with a relative, but the family member who was holding Gael eventually gave up and left with an unpleasant look.




Hafinya posted on his SNS page, "Your employees are shameful. You shouldn't treat people like this, especially children. You have to make children happy, not ignore them. I think it would be more appropriate to say 'Ignore' than any other expression. You are a disgrace." Hafinya accused the mascot of deliberately ignoring his son because of his skin color. "Disneyland, I don't like you guys. The child just wanted to say hello and hug, but the employee didn't understand that. The employee criticized, "It's trash."

Hafinha, who was assigned to the Brazil national team during the A-match period, did not accompany his family on the day. Hafeeña, one of four Barcelona aces who are also nominated for the 2025 Ballon d'Or along with Ramin Yamal, Robert Lewandowski and Pedri, added. "I understand the fatigue of people doing this, but why didn't all the white kids get a hug and only my son get one?"

Disneyland Paris, which attracts 12 million visitors a year, has yet to make an official statement on Hafinya's claims. However, Hafinya's wife revealed in an Instagram story that "'Disneyland accepted our raising of the issue and took action afterward.'"




This is not the first controversy over racism in Disneyland. In 2022, a family accused an employee dressed as Princess Rapunzel of ignoring her black daughter.The child's father `Please re-share this racist trash post' and "Children should not go through this. We treat our children as if they don't belong here." Last year, Disneyland introduced a ride to commemorate the first black princess, replacing the racist 1946 film-inspired log slide ride 'Splash Mountain' with Tiana's Bayou Adventure, but the Hafeeña son's racism has put him back on the cutting board.

Meanwhile, Brazilian national striker Hafinha started the World Cup qualifier against Chile in Maracana, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil on the 5th (Korea time) and led the team to a 3-0 complete victory, and returned to Barcelona after an away match in Bolivia on the 10th to prepare for a league match against Valencia. On the 10th of next month, an away friendly match will also be held at the Seoul World Cup Stadium with Hong Myung-bo.
