Stick It To Them

I'm very happy that A&F has finally been sued for racial discrimination. I have always hated that store for its overpriced super-preppy clothing. Those retarded T-shirts with slant-eyed Asian cartoon characters certainly did not make me look at them favorably.

From the SF Chronicle:


Anthony Ocampo, a Filipino-American who recently graduated from Stanford University, said he applied for a job at a store in Glendale, Calif. where he'd previously worked. After speaking with a manager, a sales person told him, "We're sorry, but we can't rehire you because there's already too many Filipinos working here," said Ocampo, 21.
...
Another plaintiff, Angeline Wu, a Chinese-American, saw her hours cut and was later terminated from a store in Costa Mesa, Calif. That happened after a manager pointed at a poster of a blond-haired, blue-eyed male model and said the store needed more staff members with a similar appearance, she said. She and five other Asian-American women were later terminated, she said.


It's sad that a Stanford grad had to settle for a teenager's job. I'm glad he's taking the initiative to file a lawsuit. I want to see that clothing chain destroyed like the neocons wanted to destroy the Clintons.
