The clothing company came under fire on social media for having a blonde, blue-eyed, white model pose in their Black Panther ‘Wakanda Forever’ sweater.
Here are just a few of the disgruntled Tweets:
@sanefacade “They got a super pale, blond, blue-eyed model in a Wakanda Forever sweater... [rolling on the floor laughing emojis] I wanna speak to your advertising department, @Forever21. Someone approved this and thought this was going to work."
@KyleMaurer "how the hell @Forever21 putting Eminem Jr. in the Wakanda Forever sweater”
@WhoIsMarkPaul “Hey @Forever21, In What Universe Did You Think It Was Ok To Feature A White Model In Wakanda Gear? Granted, Chances Are You Knew It Wasn't Ok, But Still. As A Former #21Men Brand Specialist For The Company, I'm Highly Offended.”
@FredTJoseph “Wakanda bullshit is this, @Forever21?”
Forever 21 have now deleted the Tweet which used the photos of the model in the sweater. They have also issued an official apology…
“Forever 21 takes feedback on our products and marketing extremely seriously," a spokesperson told E! News in a statement.
"We celebrate all superheroes with many different models of various ethnicities and apologize if the photo in question was offensive in any way."
Were you offended that Forever 21 didn’t use a black model?

Coaching Testimonial
"The Coaching Service served as an incredible perk and has really enhanced my online dating experience"
Submitted by: Karen, USA, 34
My Dating Coach really took the time to go through my profile thoroughly. First she viewed my pictures and gave me great feedback.
She read through the written portion of my profile, line by line, and gave direct feedback on how to add my personality to it.
My amazing consultant, even asked how my contacts where going and offered a few suggestions to increase my interactions with new men.
I took her advice and made the suggested adjustments.
I have received more contact from men, more views, and have started communicating with more people which was the whole point of joining the site in the first place.
The Coaching Service served as an incredible perk and has really enhanced my online dating experience. Thanks!

They should have had more than one model in the campaign from more than one race. It would have came across much better like Black Panther can be enjoyed by everyone. But that's just my opinion.
