The problem is with modelling such a top on a black child. Its very offensive to a lot of people, and I am astounded that it managed to pass a bunch of people by..its not like there is only one person making decisions like this in such a huge company, and some people are paid specifically to make sure stuff like this does not happen
I read about the mother not finding it racist. thats fine as its her opinion on it and I have heard black friends saying they did not find it offensive too. But a lot DO find it offensive. And I don't blame them as I know the history of how 'monkey' has been used against black people. FFS we still have idiots throwing bananas at footballers and doing monkey chants and stuff. Its not exactly something thats way in the past so people can use the excuse that they don't know about it...
