GAP recently put out an ad commercial for their kids line Baby GAP. They have been under great criticism for what some to believe is passive racism. The picture above shows what all the talk is about. People have an issue with the white little girl resting her arm on the head of the younger much shorter African American girl. Because of the criticism and commotion that this represents passive racism GAP this week decided to drop the ad and apologized and agreed that it was racist. Minding you GAP has produced a similar ad before where an African American girl was resting her arm on a white girls head. Do you think that people are looking to far into the ad based on the society we live in today, or do you think the criticism is justifiable? Let me know your thoughts
