It turns out the kid at the heart of this storm is a Kenyan. The mother has told the PC crowd to get over it. A classic case of different categories of blacks having different sensitivities to "racism". The motherland ones being the least bothered.
I don't doubt racism is a problem. But I do think black people in the west see it as a bogeyman in almost every situation they may not like.
A black boy at the centre of a racism storm involving Swedish multinational clothing retail company, H&M, has Kenyan roots.
The photo, which has gone viral, shows the black boy modelling for American fashion powerhouse, wearing a green hoodie with the message “Coolest Monkey in the Jungle”.
A Kenyan woman by the name Terry Mango has claimed to be the child’s mother.
She has shocked internet users when, in a series of posts, backed H&M, saying there was nothing wrong with the message.

The African American(and to some extent the slave descended diaspora) is almost wired from birth to be sensitive to "it". It's different with recent African immigrants because they were not spoon-fed that stuff from one generation to another. I am not judging, because obviously they have been mistreated and overcome a lot historically.
It's just an interesting difference. One of the results is the tendency to see recent African diaspora as tending to behave white or as coons.

Makes tons of sense
Trevor Noah being biracial and from Apartheid era South Africa better appreciates it than the average negro immigrant methinks
