So they don’t want any white people to buy the sweater?
Apology. Big mistake
Where are the apologies from blacks playing white people, or doing the voices of white animated characters? Keegan michael Key did voicing for a white animated character on the series Super Mansion.
Where’s the apologies?
Can they farm it out to a HB1 Indian model?
Well, sure. And Hogan's Heroes should apologize to the Nazis for putting Kinch in a Wehrmacht uniform.

That’s dumb and cowardly. Get ready to have your chain collar jerked this way and that way at the whims of PC people. Most of the complainers wouldn’t be buying your clothing anyway.

MMmmmmmmm...depends on his skin lightness/darkness ratio, I suppose.

I guess it is not going to be a white Christmas.
David Oyelowo played a white Imperial in Star Wars Rebels.

Never apologize to bullies.
I forgot about that HH bit.
I have a feeling, that many of them, dont want white people around, for any reason. 👎

Liberals are putting whites as the new Jews.
