    Abercrombie & Fitch Hit with Class Action for being "Overwhelmingly White"

    http://biz.yahoo.com/law/031120/9960...8c8e577_1.html

    Preppie sportswear retailer Abercrombie & Fitch was hit with a nationwide class action race discrimination lawsuit on Wednesday by a team of Philadelphia lawyers who say the sales force in its 600-plus stores is "overwhelmingly white."

        I'm going to sue Hooters. Their employees are overwhelmingly busty. Give the girls with small boobs a chance!

              Umm so..... I think the only colored people who would wear the shit are brynt gumble and the select few black republicans. So its not like its gunna upset its shoppers, and if there are no ethnic shoppers odds are none picked up an application in the first place.

              Then again I suppose the Fubu people have tons of whites working too huh?

                No shit. Preppy fags wear that crap. Black man should be glad they won't hire him.

                        I can see Carlton wearing that stuff, when I worked at Heavenly he used to come in and drop his kids off at the ski school where I worked. He is just like he is portrayed in that show, but, a total jerk most of the time, he always asks people do you recognize me or drops hints of who he is and is just a jerk all the way around.

                                a&f sucks, i'd never buy anything from them.

                                Often times I wonder why
                                There's love and hate, theres live or die.
                                When sickness comes I must decide:
                                When feelings go, theres suicide.

                                          what the fuck is wrong with it?

                                          equal opportuniy employment is a joke, ill hire who ever the fuck i want to work at my stores. if america doesnt like it, they can kiss my fuckign ass.


                                          and if A&F is so bad for being all white.... should we not sue the rap industry for being "overwhelmingly black"?

                                          or maybe sue BET for being "black based" entertainment.

                                          these mother fuckers really need to get a life

                                              Exactly. You don't see many whites working at Tonefu's Dew Rags or Popeye's Chicken in South Central.

                                                crack dealers should be sued for being overwhelmingly black.

                                                    If I started a new TV channel called WET, am i racist? prally.

                                                    BET "Black Entertainment Television" (totally justified, huh)

                                                    WET "White Entertainment Television" (totally racist, huh)

                                                    -would be off the air in 30 minutes and i'd be called a racist for life. But this is the circle, so there is no grounds for suing "overwhelmingly white" Abercrombie/corportized, "my children have a trust fund" line of clothing.

                                                    In all honesty though, Abercrombie does discriminate. I know of a few girls who worked there who were fired cause they weren't cute enough, facts are facts.

                                                    Reminds me the Cracker Barrel cases a while back about equal opportunity employment because they wouldn't hire gays, southerns freaked out about gays in the early 90s and wouldn't order from a homosexual.

EOE is a fucking sham, why should there be equal opportunity to begin with? people should get what they get and deal with it. employers should be able to hire whoever they want for any reason, and no hire who they dont want for any reason they see fit.

                                                                                  only lazy worthless fuckers whine about shit, there are hurdles in life that we all must climb over or go around, some would rather sue the fucker that put it there.

                                                                                            BET "Black Entertainment Television" (totally justified, huh)

                                                                                            -would be off the air in 30 minutes and i'd be called a racist for life. But this is the circle, so there is no grounds for suing "overwhelmingly white" Abercrombie/corportized, "my children have a trust fund" line of clothing.

                                                                                            In all honesty though, Abercrombie does discriminate. I know of a few girls who worked there who were fired cause they weren't cute enough, facts are facts.

                                                                                            Reminds me the Cracker Barrel cases a while back about equal opportunity employment because they wouldn't hire gays, southerns freaked out about gays in the early 90s and wouldn't order from a homosexual.
