The Asian Pacific American Legal Center is looking into recent claims that Apple stores possibly discriminated against Asian customers who tried to buy iPads, in an apparent attempt to curb unauthorized smuggling of the devices into China. New York's attorney general is already investigating these claims.
APALC is also putting out a call to Asian customers who might have experienced racial profiling. If you are Asian American and were asked
any unusual questions while trying to buy an iPad at an Apple store
and/or were prevented from buying an iPad, they'd like to hear
about it.
If this was your experience, email investigateapple@gmail.com or call (213) 977-7500 to tell APALC your story. And please, spread the word and share this with others. Don't let Apple stores discriminate and get away with it!
