Is it true L'Oreal is guilty of being racist with respect to a particular product of  theirs.



Below is the quote of the racist allegation:

L'Oréal, the French cosmetics giant, was found guilty today of racial discrimination after the highest court in France heard that executives had sought an all-white team of sales staff to promote its shampoos.

La Cour de Cassation was told that Garnier, L'Oréal's beauty products division, tried to keep black, Asian and Arab women from selling its Fructis shampoo in French supermarkets.

Adecco, the temporary recruitment agency whose Districom division hired the hostesses, was also found guilty of racial discrimination.

L'Oréal expressed "disappointment" over the judgment, which ends three years of legal wrangling over the discrimination claims.

Adecco declined to comment.

Samuel Thomas, the vice-chairman of SOS Racisme, the anti-racist campaign group, described the ruling as a "very great victory".

The court was told that a Disticom executive had sent a fax in 2000 saying that Garnier's hostesses should be aged 18 to 22, wear size 38 to 42 clothes and be "BBR".

This stands for "bleu, blanc, rouge" (blue, white, red) — the colours of the French flag — and is a well-known code for white people, La Cour de Cassation was told.




My questions is then:

- Wat are black ladies still doing about their products
- Do u still buy their products despite that they have the confidence to openly discriminate against you for being non-white.
- Do you not realise that they need to be punished in their pocket where it hurts the most, assuming off course that you ladies actually buy their products in the first place.

this part got me 
france is known to be very racist. I don't know what the financial incentive was though ('cause i'm sure most businesses will do anything to broaden their market).

Prosecutors said that Garnier wanted to exclude members of the ethnic minorities on the grounds that they would be less likely to win custom for its shampoo in French stores.

i don't understand this. what is "winning custom"?

profit
money
ego


bottom line is that there is still racism, hence why i am pissed with black ladies and guys that still go about sacrifising their own race for the uplifting of the white caucasian race.

The truth is that racism that was once open is now very secretive and seldom seen unless investigated.

Black models are scarce and wen u find them u usual find that they usual use some ugly ones for no obvious reason other than to do propaganda.

I just pity u ladies that still buy their products considering that they don't really give a shit about ur feelings

No2Atheism:

i disagree with u here.
tyra, chanel iman, gerren taylor, liya kedebe, are/were black models that are beautiful by conventional standards.
just that the "ugly" ones sometimes tend to be more successful.
and the ones we feel are ugly because their skin is too dark, they are too tall and skinny and what not are what the runway probably wants.
u will also notice that a lot of the white models are pale and sometimes "ugly"(with their very unique facial and physical structures) in the average white person's eye
i think the contrast (paleness/ darkness) is meant to achieve something with the clothes they're showcasing.

yeah the runway is also racist in that they don't use enough black models.
but i'm sure it will be worse if they start using "beautiful" black models. we blacks will still claim that they're only using western looking black models.

@oyinda
