Clothing retailer Abercrombie & Fitch agrees to pay $50 million to settle lawsuits claiming it discriminates against minorities and women. The company was accused of favoring white men in its hiring and branding. Abercrombie will create an office of diversity and has already hired a vice president for diversity. Tamara Keith from member station WOSU reports.
That's a bunch of BULL!

FUBU's got's wiggers so I guess their safe.

A&F is marketed to a certain group of people. Ugly, fat, and disabled don't fit into that group. Therefore, having those people as sales reps actually deters sales.

Its pretty funny really. I see where A&F is coming from. Superficial customers don't buy from those that "look" less than perfect. :winkwink:

Rich 11-17-2004 04:47 PM

They should be sued for selling thongs to 12 year olds, that's some fucked up shit right there.

lol, I've seen a lot of ugly people wearing that shit.

ShellyCrash 11-17-2004 04:49 PM

Whoa- they hired a "vice president for diversity"

What a sweet useless job! I wonder what the pay is? It's a VP position of a national clothing chain.... $$$$$$

I think I'm going to post my resume on Monster right now :Graucho

Marcus Aurelius 11-17-2004 05:44 PM

It's a sad day for mall rats everywhere.

MrJackMeHoff 11-17-2004 05:46 PM

So do strip clubs have to hire fat ugly people too?

bluedevil 11-17-2004 06:02 PM

what self respecting homo would walk into an A&F store when tyrone is standing there eating fried chicken

i dont blame A&F they have an image to uphold

Steen2 11-17-2004 06:06 PM

Hmm, interesting to say the least.

Who actually gets mad enough to spend the money to sue AF for this stuff?

eddie-executive 11-17-2004 06:12 PM

You couldn't pay me to wear that garbage. Its for trendy prissy girls and fags:321GFY

shermo 11-17-2004 06:22 PM

Thats it... I'm suing Phat Farm, FUBU, G Unit, Roca Wear, Ecko and South Pole. How much do you think I can make?

DatingGold 11-17-2004 06:24 PM

www.fubu.com

I don't see a single white person and it says "For us by us"

xclusive 11-17-2004 06:27 PM

I'm going to sue Nike because my dream is to make sneakers in a sweat shop in china but they say i'm too much of a honky...Bastards...

Vitasoy 11-17-2004 06:32 PM

People always pulling the race card... and how the heck do they come up with that sum? :helpme

xNetworx 11-17-2004 11:14 PM

Such bullshit. If a company wants to hire a certain type of people they should be able too IMO. However, so many Americans are jealous, whiny bitches so I understand why this is happening. FUBU should get sued if this ruling applies to every company that "discriminates".

its a sad day because african americans are going to start being hired at A&F?... there you go with that southern ignorance thing


j/k im in baton rouge

i wonder how much revenue they'll lose by doing this

VirtuMike 11-17-2004 11:21 PM

I totally want to be Vice President of Diversity!

I could hire people based on the color of their skin that are completely unqualified!

I just read an article about a bunch of "luxury" hotels in LA being boycotted by the unions because they don't hire enough black people. They're saying they are over the demographic percentage of the area on blacks, and WAY WAY over for latinos. I guess the black people are claiming that the Mexicans are taking all their jobs that affirmative action created for them.

Lace 11-17-2004 11:21 PM

theres an A&F not 2 mins from me in the mall here. Nothing but white people. Hell I used to work there along with my buddy.

They hired all HOT females....and "HOT" guys so I was told...Chilled with the manager for abit but i wont discuss what was said.

skillfull 11-17-2004 11:23 PM

this is bullshit :2 cents:

Drake 11-17-2004 11:23 PM

I don't think it's fair for A&F to have to change how they market to a demographic.

It's not. That's why America is so fucked up.
