The latest major racially insensitive Marketing error to take the internet by storm comes from H&M. The major fashion retailer posted a photo of a black boy wearing a “coolest monkey in the jungle” hoodie.
According to The Root, following backlash on social media over the weekend, the Stockholm-based clothing giant issued a pithy, lukewarm apology Monday morning for pairing a black child with a known racial slur.
“This image has now been removed from all H&M channels and we apologize to anyone this may have offended,” the retailer told the Daily News.
