Yeah there must have been a mistake on the memo for the producer of this campaign. I think they must have thought it was a racism campaign and not an anti racism campaign.
That's such a hilariously bad idea.
I hear that Suarez thinks it’s great.

Wow, that's beyond stupid. No one can be that thick.
This was most likely conceived by an uber-liberal with a masters's degree and no common sense. I get that we are all possibly related to apes (if Darwin was right), but you also have to remember half the world believes in the Garden of Eden. This is 1000 bad ideas rolled up into one. We have to be mindful of racism, but lately people are overthinking it. Just treat every person you meet as you'd like them to treat you - it's really that simple.

Don't try and leverage this for your political agenda. The Italian FA hired an artist known for his pieces featuring apes for an anti-racism poster. This is a blatant example of ignorance and institutional racism.
Weird the artist kept calling them monkeys really, because they're not.

You're barking up the wrong tree, mate.
This entire stunt screams of an alt-right edgelord's attempt at humour. Anything to push the envelope and widen the "Overton window".
Spend some time on Reddit, or some of the *Chan sites and you'll see what I'm on about.
The artist the ItalianFA hired, according to Sky News, only paints Monkeys...

Serie A, Italy's top football division, commissioned Simone Fugazzotto, who is known for painting monkeys, to create artworks to tackle prejudice in the game.
considering he drew 3 apes i think he's trying to imply we are all the same even if there are some slight visual differences
or maybe not i dunno
hurts my soul when people dont know the difference
