Hints of racism in the new H&M Ad Campaign?

I'd say it happens all over the media, not just these HM adverts.

People employed in 'the media' tend to stick to stereotypes, because it sells. Why does it sell? Because in reality, in everyday life, people prefer to believe in stereotypes and 'stick to their own kind'. I mean all you have to do is cast you eye over the comments made, 'people tend to hang out with their own ethnicity' to see that people prefer stereotypes.

For everyone who has told the alevelshmaylevel92 to stop being so analytical, you should realise than anyone who is in a so called 'minority group', but does not fit into a stereotype, gets really, really, bored and fed up with the media pandering to prejudices and stereotypes. Cue goths, black people and girls to nod in agreement.

maybe its just me, but i've seen a collection of the new H&M adverts on billboards, Bus stops and buses, the feeling i get from looking at them is "stick to your own kind". Theres probably about 6 different images, each has two people on it. 1 has two oriental girls, 1 has two black men, 1 has 2 white girls, and i think i saw another with two black girls on it, i mean ofcourse they are all beautiful, modeling nice clothes n all, but why are two people of the same ethnicity grouped together like that? is H&M telling us to stick to our own kind? what do u guys think.

It's funny how people automatically seem to assume the OP is black.

I don't see anyone's post that could lead you to that conclusion.

Who were you referring to when you said you people? I notice someone called you up on that and I'm also just curious.

I was not refering to anyone of any specific ethnicity or race when I said 'you people'.

Do you people just go around look for racism in everything and anything ?

Most hollywood films have hints of racism...not to blacks of course.

The campaign is actually about families. The people in the photos are siblings. I think it's on their website somewhere, but I can see how it could look odd just in print on a billboard.
