These days I was truly disappointed to see this image went viral.
It's a real problem and a new subject on the news because of H&M's mistake.
Is it or not racism?
I think they didn't intended this but, now, after reading more comments and reviews I changed my mind a little.
They lost a lot of important clients and big collabs. It was kinda worldwide and they apologized through the social media saying that " We're deeply sorry that the picture was taken, and we also regret the actual print. Therefore,we've not only removed this imagine from our channels, but also the garment from our product offering"
From my point of view they lost a lot with this collection and it will take a lot of time until they regain the full trust of the clients.
This subject of racism is very sensible and I'm totally for equality between people no matter what.Racism is discrimination based only on ones skin color and this is not fair.We don't choose our families,our birthplace and mostly our colorskin. I've heard a lot of times that the whites are better or superior but this isn't a valid criteria to measure the social statute.
LeBron James posted on his instagram a photo of this kid wearing a crown for showing his respect for the black people.
I've always appreciated LeBron for his way of being and he's very inspiring quotes.
Support the equality between people no matter the gender or the skincolor or the social environment they come from!
Do you think that h&m intended to make this mistake or not?
They finally have a dark skinned boy, is he a monkey! Maybe it was a mistake, maybe not. What I do know is that people are getting easier offended by the day.
Yes, I got ur point of view but it was clear that people would see this like an opportunity to comment and make a bad image for H&m.
However, this little boy is very cute!:)
H&M contacted me few hours ago to take me some shots but I refused after this mistake.
and you were supposed to be the model for the next collection?
Yeah, but I am not interested anymore, I will create my own collection soon.

I think it was a very unfortunate mistake. It seems as though someone would have had a thought of inappropriateness along the way, but then again, no one is perfect. My hope is that it was a naive and innocent mistake, of which they will serve a quick consequence and everyone can move on.
Yes, this is how the system works!
But it's ok. I'm sorry for them cuz I don't think this was their intention.:)
