Mother who covered 3-yr-old daughter in black paint for Halloween says she wasn't being racist

The mother, Claire Flynn, said the costume choice was in no way intended to be offensive and that anyone who thinks she's racist 'needs to get a grip'
UPDATED NOV 2, 2018

A mother who painted her daughter's whole body black for Halloween says anyone who thinks she's racist "needs to get a grip." Three-year-old Sienna was dressed as a "Lookie Lookie" man by her mum Claire Flynn, a nursery worker. The nickname is used to describe beach traders at foreign holiday resorts, Daily Mail reports.

Sienna was coated head-to-toe in black paint in a photo posted by the 26-year-old woman on Facebook with a caption that read: "Happy Halloween from Benidorm's finest... lookie lookie." The costume choice was in no way intended to be offensive, Claire added, and that anyone who thinks so needs to "get a grip".
