fat_tony Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 Does anyone know is this the only garment that this particular kid was pictured in or is it just one of a whole range of clothes he's wearing ? I have 2 wee boys and they have tons of clothes with either the word monkey or a picture of a monkey on them. Surely the racist attitude would be to exclude a kid from wearing one particular item due to the colour of his skin. However ..... Marketing folk at a big company should know that 99% of the population are utter twats that need protecting from their own thoughts and will twist anything and everything into some kind of outrage. That pretty much sums up my take on it too. Treating one of the kids differently because of the colour of their skin is the very definition of racism. So much of the criticism reeks of people who would have no issue if the kid wearing the hoody had been white.But totally agree that for any company it’s not so much about the right or wrong but how it will be perceived. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA Baracus Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 Of course no one would have an issue with it if the kid was white. Are folk genuinely not getting this? If so then they're thick as f**k. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually, this consists of deliberately mistaking the name of something for a racial slur. Examples have included Black Forest gateau, the All Blacks rugby strip, Isle of Wight, white wine and the non-existence of black wine, garden 'hoes', Cocoon and "raccoon" for containing "coon", and the fact that white moves first in chess.
