    It's a longstanding Philadelphia tradition with a problematic history of casual and overt racism.

    Some of the costumes are rather intricate and impressive. And then sometimes they're racist. People who defend the Mummers try to pretend the bigots have been removed and prohibited frim returning, but this year some bigots attacked the crowd while waving MAGA flag.

    The musical acts are good, though. Lotta fun for the kids.
