School boys from Sudan & Somalia kicked out of Apple store in Australia for fear 'they might steal something'
Racial profiling. Six black teenagers of Maribyrong High School were told to leave an Apple store in
Melbourne, Australia because of staff's fear they "might steal
something".
"Simply Racism, made them apologise
though" one of the boys, Francis Ose captioned the video he shared on
Facebook on Tuesday, November 10. The video shows the boys being denied
entry to the store by a staff member and two security guards.
"These guys [security guards] are just a bit worried about your
presence in our store. They’re just worried you might steal something,"
the Apple staff member said in the video.
According to reports, Apple later apologised to the
six schoolboys. The principal of their school accompanied the students
back to the store to help them in seeking an apology.
"The manager apologised to us and told us that we
are welcome here anytime," one of the teenager said. "It feels like we
have justice now."
The video of the incident has been viewed more than 107,815 times on Facebook and shared 1,881 times. Watch here
