Good old-fashoin racism from Apple
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-CHftBRuSr8

A group of 6 African schoolboys was denied entry into an Apple store in Melbourne on Tuesday (5 of them pictured below):

"Do you know what's happening right now? These guys are just a bit worried about your presence in our store, and they think they're just worried you might steal something." An Apple employee tells the boys.

Their response is "WOAH, why would we steal something?"

The employee then tells them "end of discussion, I need to ask you to leave our store".


Quote:"The six Year 10 students involved in the incident say they were shocked by their treatment.

"'I've been coming to Highpoint for a long time and I never thought something like this would happen ... of course I was offended,' Mabior Ater told Fairfax Media on Wednesday.

"Mabior says it is not the first time he has experienced racism but 'this is the first time it has been this big.'
...
"On Wednesday afternoon, Maribyrnong College principal Nick Scott accompanied the six boys involved in the incident to the Apple store at Highpoint where they sought an apology.

"At about 3.30pm a senior manager from the store met with the teenagers.

"'She apologised to us and told us that we are welcome here anytime,' Mabior said. 'It feels like we have justice now.'"

As far as I'm concerned Apple can fuck off back to their own backwards-thinking country.

"That's disgusting. There were clean athletes out there that have had their whole careers ruined by people like Lance Armstrong who just bended thoughts to fit their circumstances. He didn't look up cheating because he wanted to stop, he wanted to justify what he was doing and to keep that continuing on." - Nicole Cooke
