Schindler's Lisp

Some folks in San Francisco have taken Abercrombie (and their admirers) to task - equating them to Nazis.

Official Website for Class Action Suit Against Abercrombie

On November 16, 2004, the Court granted preliminary approval to a settlement of the class action lawsuit, Gonzalez v. Abercrombie & Fitch. The settlement requires the retail clothing giant to pay $40 million dollars to Latino, African American, Asian American and women applicants and employees who charged the company with discrimination. The settlement also requires the company to institute a range of policies and programs to promote diversity among its workforce and to prevent discrimination based on race or gender.
