The fast-fashion retailer has been blasted online for its supposedly tone-deaf advertisement and perceived insensitivity.
“This image has now been removed from all H&M channels and we apologise to anyone this may have offended,” H&M told SBS News in a statement.
H&M has replaced the image with a generic photo of the hoodie on its own.
Reaction online has been mostly negative, with the general consensus being that the add was “inappropriate,” “offensive”and “racist.”
