throbber Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 That is not great. How can people be so stupid to release this? Do you think they actually didn’t see why it might cause a stir? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
throbber Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 It's just a green jumper ? Why would cause a stir? Because people are c***s . I wish it wouldn’t cause a stir and people just saw it as a harmless slogan on a green jumper but it’s hardly going to be the case is it? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

throbber Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 Why do folk see the skin colour rather than just a kid? Because of the words that are on his attire. No matter how much you can strive for racial equality people are always going to notice someone’s ethnicity. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myko Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 My missus works for H&M and seemingly it was their main marketing division in Stockholm, and the garment's manufacturer, that pushed this through despite UK advising them of potential repercussions. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweden must be different but you simply can’t get away with it in the U.K. without people kicking up fuss about it. It’s a fucking weird slogan to have anyway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

throbber Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 What's weird about it ?I'm not seeing an issue here. The people who have an issue with this are the ones who really need to have a wee hard look at themselves I just don’t like slogan. Monkeys aren’t exclusive to the jungle either.I don’t take offence to it myself but it is so obvious that people would take offence to the slogan if it was modelled by a black child, particularly in the U.K. I wish it wasn’t this way but someone from H&M should have stepped in to put a stop to it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bully Wee Villa Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 You'd have to have been living under a rock not to know that racists have used "monkey" as a racist term of abuse for black people for centuries. This isn't people looking to get offended, this is a company acting like twats and getting, rightly, called out for it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bully Wee Villa Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 No, the company acted like twats because they put a black boy in a top with "monkey" written on it. Anyone who has ever read, heard or seen anything, ever, will know that even insinuating a comparison between a black person and a monkey is offensive.This isn't complicated, mate.

Should we first look at who is wearing the hoodie first before we see what it says on it ? Is it just a safer bet to just not let humans model anything ? Somebody will take offence to something ? I've the same answer. Humans are c***s You must have seen shots of "fans" making monkey gestures towards black players, and throwing bananas at them. That's the context. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
