Book/movie review

In 2003, clothing retailer Abercrombie & Fitch (A&F) was sued by current and past members of its sales force as well as by applicants who were denied jobs, all of whom claimed racial discrimination.
The plaintiffs, in a class action lawsuit that grew to include 10,000 claimants, alleged that A&F favored whites in a variety of ways in order to project an image of A&F’s “classic American” look. Plaintiffs alleged that people of color were discouraged from applying for positions visible to the public and were instead steered to stockroom jobs. The suit was eventually settled in 2005 for $40 million, providing at least some evidence of a lack of diversity in the retailer’s operations. This lack of diversity consciousness is similarly relevant to the decisions A&F made in 2002 before the lawsuit was filed. A&F opted to produce a line of T-shirts designed to poke fun at particular ethnic groups. More recently, A&F was sued by a young Muslim woman who was denied employment because she wears a headscarf because of religious beliefs. The case rests on Title VII of the Civil Rights Act (Links to an external site.), which makes it illegal to “fail or refuse to hire or to discharge any individual … because of such individual’s race, color, religion, sex, or national origin.”
In June 2015 the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in favor of the job applicant, noting that A&F had violated provisions of the Civil Rights Act in failing to hire an otherwise well-qualified applicant because of her religious affiliation.
