Toys "R" Us Inc. has come under fire for denying a Chinese-American infant a $25,000 savings bond prize in a contest for the New Year's first baby because the girl's mother is not a legal U.S. resident....Some Chinese-American advocates say the company's decision smacks of second-class citizenship.
Uh, no. That would be non-citizenship.
Even though the contest rules stated that the mother had to be a legal resident of the U.S. they still held a random drawing to decide among the first three babies entered in the contest.
