Apple face racism accusations in Australia after staff eject black teens from store

Apple was facing accusations of racism in Australia after a group of black teenagers was asked to leave a store in Melbourne when a staff member expressed concern they would shoplift.

The backlash against the technology giant began after one of the teens posted a video of Tuesday’s incident on his Facebook page, captioning it: “Simply Racism.”

In the video, a staff member is heard telling the teens: “These guys are just a bit worried about your presence in our store. They’re just worried you might steal something.”
