On April 29, Old Navy tweeted this ad featuring an interracial family:

But rather than get psyched about a 30%-off sale, a bunch of trolls began bombarding the brand with racist tweets.

The responses were pretty horrible:

And so on. We'll spare you from having to read any more.

Now people are rallying around the brand and taking on the racist trolls.

Some people have responded with photos of their own interracial families and relationships:
