Muslim Job Applicant Accuses Abercrombie & Fitch of Bias

Muslim Job Applicant Accuses Abercrombie & Fitch of Bias

Abercrombie & Fitch's unyielding adherence to one kind of beauty has, once again, gotten them in trouble. A Mulsim woman accuses the clothing retailer of not hiring due to her head scarf. Mercury News reports, "Federal civil rights lawyers today sued clothing retailer Abercrombie & Fitch on behalf of an 18-year-old Muslim woman who alleges the company's store at the Great Mall in Milpitas refused to hire her for wearing a religious head scarf, the second time the national chain has been hit with a similar discrimination lawsuit."

The "hip" clothing line was hit with a similar lawsuit back in 2009.
