Following the backlash they received after a group of
black Maribyrnong College students uploaded a video of them being denied
entry into one of their stores in Melbourne, Australia, on Facebook,
the Tech giant, which many people on social media accused of racially
profiling its customers, issued a statement on Friday, November 13, from its head office in the US, apologizing for the incident.
"We’ve looked into the details of the situation and we apologise to the customers involved," the statement said. "We will continue to do everything in our power to ensure all our customers are treated the way they should be. We believe in equality for everyone, regardless of race, age, gender, gender identity, ethnicity, religion or sexual orientation. That applies throughout our company, around the world with no exceptions."
In the video, a staff member can be heard saying:
"These guys [security guards] are
just a bit worried about your presence in our store. They’re just
worried you might steal something."

Racism can never be fully extinct. Some folks are still very timid and ignorant in their mode of reasoning.

If u steal it does not mean others with ur skin type are thieves too. Don't whites steal?
Amy, it's not only Africans that have black skin, African americans too are black skin pple, and also note that stealing is not a black tin at all. So there are not excused for embarassing those guys.
After they will bring their products to black people because they are the market. Racism should be condemn in all its ramifications.
THE DAY BLACKS REALISE THAT THEY ARE THE MOST HATEDGROUP INTHE WORLD IS THE DAY THEY WILL WAKE THE FCUK UP
After their lousy action.
~D great anonymous!
We are the cause. We made a big deal out of every comment and action oyimbo says or does. Thus cheap publicity. They know that. Then they apologize. This has happened severally.
