This was unexpected.

In a series of since-deleted Facebook posts, Terry Mango of Sweden wrote in the comments:
“Am the mum and this is one of hundreds of outfits my son has modeled. Stop crying wolf all the time, unnecessary issue here ├óΓé¼┬ª get over it.”
Mango continued:
“If I bought that jumper and put it on him and posted it on my pages, would that make me racist? I get pples opinion, but they are not mine.”
