Anthropologie has been accused of racial profiling and using code words for Black shoppers — read the apology statement the company officially issued on Instagram
to its Instagram feed on June 1 stressing that people are "equal in value no matter their color," followers expressed unhappiness for what they deemed a vague response that didn't specifically address the Black Lives Matter movement.Multiple commenters also shared stories saying they were racially profiled in Anthropologie stores and alleging that the company uses the code word "Nick" to refer to Black shoppers.
"Anthro's culture needs to be seriously reformed," wrote one user, who said the brand's company culture is a systemic issue. "The 'Nick' codeword for Black shoppers that has been corroborated by unrelated former employees? Come on." Later that week, the brand responded with a post promising to stand with and support the Black community, including donating $100,000 to the United Negro College Fund and a commitment to diversifying its workforce.But comments on the brand's alleged racist practices and "whitewashing" continued, calling out Anthropologie for culturally appropriating products and predominantly hiring white employees.
"You may have seen that we have been challenged to be more transparent, unbiased, and fair in our stores and with our business practices," the statement began. It went on to say that the company doesn't have a code word and has a zero tolerance policy for racial profiling, but that it was learning how to combat racism. "We are committed to doing better — to be being better.
