Topic Sentence
H&M South Africa was reported to practicing a racist attack on dark models placed in its
advertisement.

positive advertisement. The company tried to explain its racist attack on the black people.
According to (Castronovo 30)" the management of the company termed the ad as being poorly
judged". The statement fueled anger among the locals since the report claimed that they
processed a poor judgment of that advertisement. Besides, the report from the company about
having worked with other models from other ethnic backgrounds was also racist.
