This is one of hundreds of outfits my son has modeled … stop crying Wolf all the time, unnecessary issue.” Mango, according to her Facebook page, appears to be from Kenya and based in Sweden. However, in an interesting twist, the child-model’s mother is telling people to “get over it.” Terry Mango wrote on social media, “That’s my son … I’ve been to all photo shoots and this was not an exception, everyone is entitled to their opinion about this. have you lost your damned minds?!?!?! /EYuCXLZtv3- Charles M. HuffPost spoke to b rand strategist Groovin Nchabeleng, who said the ad 'has damaged the reputation of H&M ', and that the rise of social media has contributed to the wider discourse on racism.
