H&M got destroyed earlier this month for an unfortunate listing on their UK website in which a black kid wears a "Coolest Monkey in the Jungle" hoodie.

But the boy's mother didn't join the attack on the retailer. She said there was nothing wrong with the hoodie and that folks were overreacting and crying wolf when they called it racist.

Terry Mango, who was born in Kenya but now lives in Sweeden, were H&M is based, has since changed her tune. In a new TV interview, she said she can understand why people reacted to the top the way they did. She also admitted she may have missed what was going on when she first saw her son modelling the shirt.

The parents of the young #H&M model have a change of heart about their son wearing a #CoolestMonkeyInTheJungle hoodie and now see how it was racist. [via @itv] #digitalfeedmedia
