I remember when I was a kid, in kindergarden, I was asked what I wanted to be when I get older. I said I wanted to be like Tarzan and kick it with the monkeys 
Regardless, poor advertisement, they got themselves bad publicity for it. They should've known better specially in this politically/socially sensitive generation. They had the same time of backlash when they had a shirt with te star of david with a human skull in front of it

This guy got this on lock despite me being a thousand times more handsome.

I did too, but monkeys aren't handsome enough 
However, should they ever come up with a "coolest nerd in the shadow realm" shirt, i want @Fr3sh to model for it.

His tweet is absurd but so is what you say there.
So you mean the link had not been made and used before anti-racist racists started SEEing it?
The bold part btw is the second most washed up excuse racists use for being racist. First is "I have black friends". Try something more nuanced.
I see a boy in a sweater.
Racists see a black boy in a shirt with monkey and think that is racist.
But the real rascist are the anti-racist people who say this is racist, because they see a link between a monkey and a dark skinned child.
All these anti-racist groups are the most racist out there. I don't see anything appealing in this picture, you can only see that if you're living in a small narrow minded world searching for everything that can eventually be rascist. In the end, they are self the biggest rascists out there.uke:

Too bad, my English is too bad to make a great post with my thoughts about this subject without misunderstandings. But believe me, I am far from a racist and I think the small group anti-rascists who have an impact in the media and shouting out loud their opinions are making the cliff between both groups bigger.
but most are too dumb to get it
Now what I don't get is, what is so racist about blackface? For example, there was outrage when Griezmann painted his face black to dress up as a Harlem Globetrotter for an 80's costume party.
Intent is what matters imo. Who would really think that he meant to be racist there?

Blackfacing is inherently racist, but that is not what Griezmann is doing. Griezmann dressed up like a Harlem Globetrotter. It makes sense for him to be black. Aside from the afro (which is pretty much simply one of the types of hair black people can have), he didn't emphasize certain physical characteristics. No big lips or anything, also it's not as if he's singing some sort of stereotypical black song or anything to ridicule blacks. Griezmann's intent is clear: he wanted to look like a Harlem Globetrotter.
As for the 'coolest monkey' thing, calling a small child 'monkey' would be considered something of a pet name over here. It's not that much of a problem that it is on a sweater. Making a black child pose in such a sweater is much more of a problem though.
