like to think that there are white people who don't necessarily make the racist association between black people and monkeys and this ad could have been oversight.

No you are saying that this HAS to be intentional. I am the one arguing that it is possible that this was not intentional.

To say that this has to be intentional is to believe that all white people have to make a racist association between black people and monkeys.

If you believe that not all white people make the racist association, then it logically follows that this may have been accidental.


Again, I am not arguing that this HAS to be accidental. I am arguing that it is possible that it might have been accidental. The distinction is important. If H&M does an investigation and uncover a racist ad maker, I wouldn't be shocked or wrong. If a third party did an investigation and conclude it was an oversight, I'd be pleased. That's it.
