Sarah Sabet, an Indian-American teen in Georgia enters an Apple Store in Georgia with her family member to select an iPad as a gift for her cousin. When Sarah spoke with her family member in Farsi - A native language from Iran, the Apple Store Clerk (name not disclosed) overheard the conversation spoken he asked where Sarah was from and responded she hailed from Iran which led to the abrupt ion from the clerk to say, "I can't sell this to you.Our Countries have bad relations." Leading to Sarah leaving the store heart-broken just being a victim of racial profiling when all she wanted was to purchase a Apple product for a gift for her cousin.

With the ordeal with Iran still fresh in the minds of American Citizens it is understandable to-be skeptical around "foreign" individuals related to hostile countries but where do draw the line,when can we accept that these individuals be lumped into their nation's decisions to be hostile but rather trying to live out their lives as a regular US Citizen, how can we judge who can be a potential terrorist and who is not, do we need to perform background checks every time the red alert in our minds goes off, this is such a controversial topic where do you even side with? .

When Sarah returned to the store to confront the discrimination,the manager was quick to point out Apple's Export Policy mentioning Iran to be one of several prohibited countries for exports,prohibiting any kind of market trade with Iran without the federal governments permission due to fear of being used against us. Catching wind of this, the National Iranian American Council notified Apple to discuss the policy guidelines in making sure discrimination solely on Iran-Americans wasn't happening.

The Controversy behind this event was alarming with Humanitarian Groups re-examining Apple's Export Policy as an open window for racial discrimination to occur with prejudice most often to occur from it.

A Spokesperson from Apple told Daily News, "That Apple retail stores are proud to serve customers from around the world, of every ethnicity. Our Apple stores are proud to host multicultural ethics as an important part of our culture. Apple doesn't discriminate." The question here is does Apple honor their equal rights no discrimination policy after just this racial profiling episode?

Well after her ordeal, Sarah contacted Apple's Customer Relations where she was give an apology and told she was allowed to purchase an iPad online, which led me to think Why Apple did not just give the girl an iPad as an apology after all this? Is Apple correct in how they handled the situation and how they resolved it?
