Apple apologises after saying black students ‘might steal something’

The Maribyrnong College students uploaded video of the incident to Facebook and some people accused the Melbourne store of racially profiling its customers

Apple has apologised after a staff member at one of its Victorian stores kicked out a group of black students over fears they "might steal something".

The company experienced a backlash after the year 10 Maribyrnong College students uploaded video of the incident on Facebook, in which the staff member can be heard saying: "These guys [security guards] are just a bit worried about your presence in our store. They're just worried you might steal something."
