Is Prada Stirring Racism Charges by Featuring ‘Sambo’ Figurines?

*OK Prada, we have no idea what you’re thinking, but you best get with the program before you’re labeled a racist organization.

We’re referring the super bad (as in not very well thought out) move the world-renown Upper Manhattan shop  made by showcasing the purse above in its window with a Sambo-like doll attached.

Damn Prada, what are you thinking? You want folks to be going off on you, well if so, get ready for the incoming. As TMZ points out, people went nuts on social media once the image was posted. Some felt it resembled a Sambo figure … others say it resembled a monkey and some felt it was a cross between the two.

Here’s more from TMZ:

It’s pretty incredible that the folks at Prada were this tone-deaf because it’s hard to imagine how they didn’t see the wave of criticism that would befall them. 

The company issued a statement Friday saying it “abhors racist imagery.” It went on to say the figure was meant as “fantasy charms.” It’s clearly a bad fantasy.

And as of this posting, the figurines have not been removed from Prada.
