The article written by Alexander Winning, “South African Protesters Ransack H&M Stores Over 'Racist' Ad” discusses sectarianism in the form of racism in an advertisement. A South African based H&M published an advertisement featuring a black baby wearing a shirt stating: “Coolest Monkey in the Jungle”. This resulted in violent protests influenced by the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) outside of H&M stores in South Africa. H&M issued an apology and removed the advertisement, but it is more than unacceptable for sectarianism in the form of racism to be present in this day and age.
