"Target Halloween costume" is trending in the United States right now because Target pulled a controversial "Kids' Glows Under Blacklight Circus Clown Halloween Costume" from its shelves and online store after social media users criticized it for resembling a racist caricature. The costume, which featured a Black child model in a bright orange and black top with solid black gloves and a mask with a wide, toothy smile, was compared to caricatures of Black people used in minstrel shows.
