If people want to see hate in a word whatever the context and intent there is no moving forward in my opinion.

Again, it isn't. You are constantly misunderstanding the point. The child can wear what he wants, the problem is that H&M thought that it would be a good idea to use a picture of a black child modelling that hoodie as a way of advertising it online. Honestly, I'm tired of explaining this, it should be obvious what the problem is.

This whole 'blame the people who take offense' approach is just an overly PC reaction that you always have whenever anyone, regardless of the situation, is accused of racism. You're the most PC person on this website, it's just you get on a soapbox when it comes to racism accusations and not actual racism itself.
