My thoughts on H&M
I might be late but better late than ever,
I just find out about the H&M advertisement of a young black boy wearing a hoodie on which it is written " I'm the coolest monkey in the jungle" and that got me thinking:
1. Racism is still a trending topic:
Up till I was 20 or so I thought that we were done with racism but now I know better.
2. Child labour:
I don't think that little boy is from a (rich) country because if he is, he would have known the message on the clothe or his parents or his agent or even H&M would have never allowed that.
On that note I'm saying H&M paid a company which then hired a photographer who's probably overseas (in a poor country), desperately waiting for the next deal, who then took photos of the little boy who's probably uneducated and whose parents are in need of money to survive.
