What Do They Take Africans For?

Imagine!
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."
