Owners of Ice Cream Family Corner and Sandwiches say passers-by have mistaken their white-hooded ice cream cone mascot for a KKK protester. | Ocala.com: ""One (customer) told me, ‘I had to think twice before coming in here because I thought it was KKK,' " Diaz said.
Interestingly, Diaz, who is from Puerto Rico, had never heard of the KKK before this controversy. She can't even quite get her tongue around the name, referring to the white supremacist group as the "Ku Ku Klan" without a hint of irony or sarcasm.
Close up, the costume looks nothing like the white-hooded Klan garb that evokes such strong emotions. Its fluffy white top, flecked with colored sprinkles, curls slightly at its peak, and it sits atop a brown waffle cone."
