From the Paper:

"One of the most well known allegations of employment discrimination in America in recent years, at least from a young person's perspective, involved the clothing company Abercrombie & Finch which caters to the late teen and twenty-something crowd; apparently the clothing chain prefers this crowd to be white and male. The famous retail clothing outfitter has been in the news several times in the last few years over allegations of discrimination in its hiring practices. Recently the company agreed "to pay nearly $50 million and to institute sweeping changes in its hiring practices to settle a trio of class action race and sex discrimination lawsuits that accused the company of maintaining a "virtually all-white" and predominately male sales force in its 600-plus stores."
