In response to an Old Navy advertisement featuring an interracial family, racist white folks posted several offensive comments.
The ad, released on Friday April 29, features a white father, a Black mother and their child. Another one features a Black dad, a white mom and their three kids.
And several folks threatened to no longer shop at the retail chain.
“Absolutely disgusting. What’s next? Gender neutral bathrooms? Pedophilia acceptance propaganda? Never shopping here again,” one troll wrote.
“Stop promoting miscegenation or else I’m taking my $$$ elsewhere.”
Peep the ad below.
Hey @OldNavy, my family and I thank you for the diversity in this ad! #LoveWins, no matter the color ❤️ pic.twitter.com/TjgYUPMGu4

Of course, the Internet did not allow the trolls to prevail. In response to their ignorance, people from around the world shared images of their interracial families:

Beautiful.
I’m not sure about you guys, but I’m more interested in how I can claim that 30% off.
