Reportedly the Apple retail employee stated “And before you say I’m racially discriminating against you, let me stop you. I am discriminating against you. I don’t want ‘your kind’ hanging out in the store.”
Let’s get this out of the way, I abhor racism. I though this country was getting out of that shit when we elected President Obama. Nonetheless, giving both sides a fair shake, not to mention from a legal point of view, this really is one man’s word against another.
