If anything the Never underestimate an old man who loves Fishing and was born in november shirt moreover I will buy this fact that a black child was able to see the sweatshirt and be happy to model in it would be a sign that we were moving in the right direction. He did not consider his race when it pertained to wearing what he wanted and neither did his mother. If anything it was a sign that the younger generations are breaking free from the chains of racism and reclaiming terms that were once used to hurt them.

As Habib F graphically points out there is significant racism in calling black people monkeys, especially in countries that have significant racial tensions – with America and South Africa being two standouts but it in the Never underestimate an old man who loves Fishing and was born in november shirt moreover I will buy this UK which is, of course, the actual target market and so somewhere they should have been aware of connotations in. And that it’s incredibly unlikely that anyone black was involved in the creative team. Welcome to Sweden. Population 10,000,000 with as near as I can tell, of the order of 50,000 black people. Or one person in 200 – at that point it is not surprising either that there were no black people on the creative team or that no one was thinking that a word many white people call their children in play was racially insensitive despite it being a fairly widely known one and one used in their target market of the UK.
