That said, any retail chain in 2017 would have to be LITERALLY INSANE to do such a thing as an act of INTENTIONAL racism. Why, who would their target market be? Unreformed Nazis? Every body else would be, and apparently is, duly offended and shocked. However, also consider the Haminations merch haminations cool guy 2023 shirt and I will buy this context. This is an ENTIRE LINE of sweatshirts on a “jungle” theme! One “white” kid is wearing a sweatshirt that has a picture of a tiger and the words “MANGROVE JUNGLE SURVIVAL EXPERT” printed on it; another has a hoodie with prints of various animals on it. Was it just luck of the draw that saw the black kid be the one to wear the hoodie with the word “monkey” on it? I‘m inclined to give H&M the benefit of the doubt, though whoever greenlighted this particular ad campaign had to be seriously tone-deaf to the racial implications. Being an idiot is not the same thing as being racist.

If it had been one of the Haminations merch haminations cool guy 2023 shirt and I will buy this white kid models wearing the “coolest monkey in the jungle” hoodie, would anyone have even noticed? People call kids “monkeys” all the time, with no racial implications, except that it is important to be culturally sensitive when the particular kid jumping on the bed, or using the living room furniture for a jungle gym, happens to be black. And, bottom line, H&M apologized. Profusely. It was a boneheaded mistake. if they had done it intentionally, they would have doubled down on it instead.
