Mother Of Black Child Model Tells People To'Get Over From'Racist Monkey Hoodie Issue

Interestingly, a few days later, Terry Mango, the mother of the little boy in the photo, spoke out, but her reaction is not what you might expect. Mango said as she spoke with Gulf News.

She said: "How can you fight racism if you make racist remarks?"

"I$3 am the mum, and this is one of hundreds of outfits my son has modeled", she wrote in a since-deleted social media post, "Stop crying wolf all the time, [it's] an unnecessary issue here".

But mum Terry appeared to dismiss the accusations of racial insensitivity in a series of Facebook posts. "[I've] been to all [of his] photoshoots and this was not an exception. But everyone is entitled to their opinion about it". I really don't understand but not [because I'm] choosing not to, but because it's not my way of thinking.

Following the massive backlash, H&M issued a hasty apology on Instagram yesterday.

"We sincerely apologize for offending people with this image of a printed hooded top".

Opinions from the global community were spread among those who believed H&M was being intentionally racist, inadvertently racist or not racist at all. This is about common sense. "Our position is simple and unequivocal - we have got this wrong and we are deeply sorry". "The image has been removed from all online channels and the product will not be for sale in the United States", the company wrote. This is without any doubt. "We will now be doing everything we possibly can to prevent this from happening again in future".
