http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/blogs-trending-35968787 Seriously? It can't just be because the girl is short therefore the tall girl rests on her, skin colour has to be pulled in to it because...reasons. When will people stop seeing colour like this? Is it not racist to ask that the black girl be treated differently just because she's black... It's funny 'cause the black kids in this ad thing are probably there to appease the people calling it racist currently, because if it was all white kids they'd go crazy too. (who cares about Asian's tho rite?) Interesting how adults see racism in everything and kids just don't care, they'll be friends either way. |

Maybe it's just white bias but the only thing I see wrong is that it's a f***ing boring poster. |

I'm not sure which one of them is worse. Apparently GAP has apologized for the advert, it's pretty sad that they actually have to like the whiners are right and should always get what they want. |

Well honestly, can you not see it as a little weird? I understand how one would think it as unusual for the one differently colored girl to be in the position she's in. It would be different if it weren't three white and one black, if there were other minorities in the poster. But maybe that's just me. |

I can understand their point of view but they are making a mountain out of a mole hill. No one created this poster with the intention of making the black girl appear subservient. At least not in a racist way. |

It's not weird. Kids do that all the time. I did it to my younger sister, taller kids have done it to me, it's just something kids do. The article even shows an advert by the exact same company doing the exact same thing with the skin colour roles reversed. People are making this into something it's not. Racism exists, of course it does, but there's enough of it going around that we don't need to add to it things that aren't racist. If anything, the sentiment here should be "small people are being made to look subservient." Edited by Mitas, Apr 6 2016, 03:46 PM.

This is almost exactly like that episode of South Park where Cartman throws a rock at Token and is accused of a hate crime, but he was simply being an a*****. |

Maybe we should just exclude black people from any sort of media. That way people can't complain about racism |

It was probably all white people doing the complaining. Probably people working for Gap's competitors. |

People have nothing better to do than pull problems out of innocence. They get a sense of purpose from it because they're meaningless otherwise. Idiots. |

Wouldn't that make it worst? Ion see it as a big deal. I actually don't like things to be done just cause I'm or someone's black (pros and cons). |

Yes, the post was sarcastic, but if I ran a company, this would be my attitude. I'm not racist but I would purposely exclude race from my ads, because all that does these days is create controversy. |

Then people are going to get offended by that and ask why you don't include people from any other races. Once you answer, I've no doubt that someone would respond and criticise you for thinking that people of other races are so sensitive that they couldn't handle being in the ads. |

I wonder if we'll get to the point where people are like "Holy s*** this poster doesn't even have people of Madagascan descent, they got Indian, Asian, African American, European but not that wtf!" There's an obvious need to include many races in things...but not to awkwardly shove them in to shut people up and "not be racist" Hopefully people stop listening to this s***, nobody should bow down to whiners just because they get offended over a doormat being a dark colour symbolizing how whiteys trample all over non whites. Sad that if they don't apologize or take down adds their reputation is severely impacted even if they actually done nothing wrong. |
