I don’t necessarily think the public is being “too sensitive.” I do think that the public is hypersensitive for good reason. If you were in her shoes, what would you do? Do you think the public is being too sensitive? The mother recently came out on Facebook and she thinks the public is making a big deal out of nothing. Now H&M has a negative connotation to their name, and I work for the company. But I think the apology issued from H&M acknowledged their mistake with empathy, even though it was unintentional. Due to what has been happening around the country, I get why there is a hypersensitive aura to this situation. So I assumed it had to have been unintentional, and I didn’t expect it to be as big as it is now.
H&M is a very diverse company and when I was hired, they stressed the importance of accepting everyone. “Lisa”: When I first saw the ad, I was a little shocked. VIBE: Did it feel awkward coming in to work today? There’s not much to do except for maybe having all their ads approved by a larger number of people before releasing it to gain more perspectives. What do you think H&M should do to prevent this from happening again? Personally, I believe that a multi million dollar company would never have such intentions and let it jeopardize their own business. One of the staff that talked about it partially agrees with the public reaction. I think that people are overreacting and being too sensitive. Have there been talks among your coworkers?Ī little bit. However, I think it’s just been blown out of proportion and the huge attention should be towards the sweatshops running under H&M where people are actually suffering. Though I work for the company, there are also many things that I do not agree with which I will not elaborate as they are pretty minor. It’s common to associate kids with monkeys as they tend to behave like one when it’s playtime and such - and monkeys belong in the jungle. The idea of the hoodie was just for kids in general - regardless of their ethnicity. To me, I strongly think it was just a communication breakdown.

The mother of the boy recently spoke out and she thinks the public is making a big deal out of nothing. I think it’s because the ad did not have much of an impact in foreign countries as it did in America. Have you talked about the controversial ad with your coworkers?
I don’t really care what people think of the ad really. Have you experienced anything like that since the controversy? Two Philadelphia Schools Catch Heat Over Racist Video Featuring Students In BlackfaceĪ video circulated on social media that showed H&M employees being harassed.
