The LA retailer raised eyebrows by tweeting the image of a white model showing off the bright coloured sweater that reads "Wakanda Forever" It's in reference to the super smash 2018 Marvel Film that depicted a fictional Africa utopia of Wakanda and starred Chadwick Boseman as T'Challa They quickly deleted it but images of the white model were still circulating as the company apologized They said "Forever 21 takes feedback on our products and marketing extremely seriously. We celebrate all superheroes with many different models of various ethnicities and apologize if the photo in question was offensive in any way" Twitter users were not so kind as one sasid "Where did Forever 21 find this model? Al Bino's Lilywhite Modeling Agecy and bleach Shop?" and another said "Wakanda bulls***" The model was removed from the store as 2 other black panther themed items were still shown with black models It's not the first time a retailer caused outrage after H&M released a sweater of a black boy modeling a hoodie that said "Coolest Monkey in the Jungle" Do you think it was stupid to use a white guy to promote wakanda forever?

Anyone outraged by this is a sad, little person. This isn't like that monkey shirt situation at all. I mean, that was a stupid thing to get angry over, but I could at least follow their train of thought. This though? I don't even understand how someone could get upset by this.

They not only chose a white person, but the whitest person that happens to have pale blond hair/ bleached hair.

Wakanda forever being appropriated as a real world black culture thing is quite ridiculous I see idiots in the street saying hell no. Tchalla didnt save wakanda so you go sleeping around with nobodies or tchalla didnt save wakanda for you not to get a college degree. Or every time some people talk about some girl that is supposedly smart they say she is out wakandan princess. Its stupid as fuck. Now they even sell wakanda passport covers ... Copied to Clipboard!

Can we just retire the word 'outrage' already? People making jokes and references to the movie on twitter is not outrage. None of those people appear to be legitimately mad
