ABIT nothing... A company had a little black boy wearing a shirt for an advert of their little monkey t-shirt. ... Seems many are feeling it is racist.....


What are your thoughts?

It does not seem racist to me. The PC squad has gone mad laugh.gif It was probably an honest 'mistake' not intending to mean the connotation it gave. Should be ignored. I think it is unfortunate that we now live in a society where we constantly have to be aware of what we say and to whom as the slightest 'non-PC' slip can offend, and be turned into a racist/sexist/ageist/fattist thing when it's not. * +

1) It is dumb to bring up what colour the kid is to begin with.
2) The kid's mother has no issues with it. It is not offending her, so why make a big deal? People need to chill lol.gif

Getting offended on people's behalf is a silly modern paradigm. No offence was probably intended, but twisted minds/mentalities obsessed with PC tried to make it so. * +

But it is it? How many blacks are going to boycott them now ....saying that they must of factored it in cause one thing is for sure, they would of known the furore this would cause

Why should they boycott them tho? It's a term of endearment to kids, every kids clothing company prints t-shirts with words of similar effect. As for the model the mother allowed him to put on the t-shirt during the shoot and no idea if the company used an outside agency to take the shoot, edit and post online? . ....more and likely it's people hearing something and not looking at the fuller picture or it could be sjws. Let's be honest it only took a drug dealer to get shot in london to cause mass looting in london * +

Some races thrive on playing the victim and who can blame them they seem to gain by it ....the downside is we get leaders like trump profiting from the flip side of all this and gaining powew * +
