Good old-fashoin racism from Apple
|
It stinks of irony.
Apple are notorious for abusing cheap labour in underprivileged countries. They're good enough to make their products but not to buy.

Let's not be so fucking quick to tar Apple with the big brush. Poor-performing clerks do not corporate policy make.

The employee (based on the accent from the vid) definitely had an Aussie accent. It's a pretty good guess that all of the employees in that store were Aussie. I doubt it is cost feasible to ship in Murricans to staff every non US store. So, where did the racism/discrimination more than likely come from? Where was it learned? From the Apple training manual? Or from Aussie culture? You're holier than thou shit gets old really fast.

I call bullshit on this. What about this screams racism? As a teenager, I and some friends (all of us white chicks) were denied entry into Claire's Boutique because they were afraid we were going to steal something... because we were teenagers.

All I can say is that I won't judge all Aussies on this one example.

Aw, stereotypes. That sounds so biblical and something like Paul said in Titus 1:12 (ERV) = "12 Even one of their own prophets said, “Cretans are always liars. They are evil animals and lazy people who do nothing but eat.”"

Something similar happened to my white friend, he was in a record store (HMV) and the security actually did some sort of citizens arrest on him and took him to the backroom to show him on CCTV that he had definitely stolen something, he hadn't stolen anything and the CCTV footage confirmed it. From my experience security staff do racially profile people but it's usually Romanians and any gypsie sort of people. School kids tend to get followed if they're teenagers, they usually have bags which could be a method of concealment and usually hang around in groups. If white teenagers get unjustly blamed for stealing it's just a bit of a shame, when black kids get unjustly accused of stealing it makes news headlines and now the owner of apple is probably going to have to kiss Jesse Jacksons anus for reparations. As for this not being the australian way, as someone else said, every person in the video clip is Australian, case closed, there's no American procedure booklet distributed among apple stores that says to treat black people unfairly. Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them. Impersonation is treason.  RE: Good old-fashoin racism from Apple

Are you implying that somehow Australia might suffer the same human foibles as, um, the rest of humanity? 
Apple was sufficiently put off to issue an apology.

They have a brand to maintain, sure. That doesn't address the dumbass OP's childish fingerpointing, as if Australians cannot be racist in and of themselves.
