Old Navy tweeted an ad that featured an interracial family on Friday for their “Thank You Event.” This ad sparked up some controversy because of the social media racist remarks by internet trolls. The overwhelming support by people who support Old Navy for featuring an interracial family has shut down the negativity from all of the racist haters.
Check out the original Old Navy ad below with some support from people who support them for the ad.
