L'Oreal Found Guilty of Discrimination

Full story: www.thesaudavoice.com

L'Oréal, the French cosmetics giant, was found guilty of racial discrimination after the highest court in France heard that executives had sought an all-white team of sales staff to promote its shampoos. La Cour de Cassation was told that Garnier, L'Oréal's beauty products division, tried to keep black, Asian and Arab women from selling its Fructis shampoo in French supermarkets. Adecco, the temporary recruitment agency whose Districom division hired the hostesses, was also found guilty of racial discrimination.

Well this clearly was offensive. There is no "finding a way" here. They completely discriminated against "others" for their cheap cosmetics.

Sounds like nothing more than marketing to me. How about if they wanted to sell their products to a black community/country/nation, would they sell better if a white woman or a black woman promoted them to you?

Do you want a male trying to sell women tampons and kotex?

Do you ever seen half naked men at car shows? They want women to attract the men.

It's all marketing, nothing more. You pick the sex or color to appeal to the audience.

I will NEVER use their product and they can take their "I'm white and I'm better than you" complexes and shove them up their asses!

Let everyone see the true ugly and hateful face
of the so-called "white people,"
for they are nothing but hateful, nasty beasts.

I guess either way this is something that won't affect me in anyway. No offense to anyone, but I find make up to be very repulsive, and the thought of it on human skin makes MY skin crawl.

Ladies be sure to throw your make up out before 6 months.

Wow that is like saying Africans can't have a all black team to sell their products.

Newsflash, France is a white country that has been entirely set up by white people for white people.

They don't have to have any minorities sell any products as long as they still hire minorities in the company itself who are citizens of the country.

There are so many double standards it is ridiculous.

Stop trying to destroy white cultures.

Hello people. French (the white nation) complained, not Blacks. The court (in france) found them guilty and a white judge found them guilty. Blacks didn't start shit people, mostly likely another race did. If you people can't notice, they added other race(other than blacks) that were also discriminated against. Why is everything gotta be black vs. white. You people need help. All this racial argument that's about to begin, You all should really consider the above statement before starting. I can careless about loreal so they can do whatever. Use white, chinese, black, whoever it doesn't matter. I don't use their products so i don't care.

I know but this evil multicultural mindset that most people are trying to push is what made them get these dumb ideas in their head about forcefully pushing diversity into nations that have always been there as a nation for white people(specifically French white people) and anyone who is willing to live in France who wants to join them in participating in THEIR culture.

I don't think people gets how seriously wrong it is to try to change cultures because you think they aren't not colorful enough or you think it is boring.

It was only after this multiculturalism bullshit(that America started)that Europeans started to feel their countries' cultures were plain and boring, Europeans have been fine with the way Europe has been for thousands of years and if they get bored of it then they again change it again while still being Eurocentric like it should be.

France isn't just a white country, and their products just for whites either. but the fact that they went out their way to make sure no one but whites sold their products is suspicious. that is racism right there.
i don't see how this is destroying white culture when they advertise their products to all races, even in minority magazines.

Ignore "PTBW" that is just one of those white supremacists that go to black forums trying to spread their "Reasoning" to black people.

Trying to say that certain parts of the Universe belong only to white people and non-whites don't belong.
That's why the white devils stole America from the natives, they believed their skin color gave them the right to take property and land from the native americans!

The kkk does the same thing, they tell black people that America belongs to white people, when the white devils stole this land in the first place from the natives!

L'oreal can kiss my ass as far as i'm concerned, i don't use their tripe bullshit products and i never will!

Their products are known to dry you out and strip your hair of all it's moisture.

So it's not like we are losing gold, fuck L'oreal.

France is just a white country, the original people that made France were all white.

Europe is a white continent, that is fact.

The destroying white culture goes on because that they feel they HAVE TO HAVE MINORITIES SELLING THEIR PRODUCTS. They feel that minorities have to be included in everything even though Europe has done fine without minorities before and it doesn't NEED them now.

I am not opposed to Europe having minorities but I am opposed to Europeans thinking they should kiss minorities' asses or they are racist, that exactly what is happening. Multiculturalism needs to die before it destroys the world.

France is a white country you dumbass racist, they don't have to do a damn thing for minorities.

and it is Asians and Africans proclaiming that whites don't belong in their homelands, whites are way more open to racial diversity then anyone.

You are a fucking hypocrite, you are all for the destruction of the European society but then you whine and complain when it isn't happening fast enough to accomidate you. When Europeans try to do the same thing that blacks, and Arabs are doing in other continents they are told to fuck off because nobody else is as tolerant as we are.

White people are much more tolerant than anyone, but if you keep persisting in your hypocrisy, you will see just how tolerant we were when you are finally treated like a minority would be in other parts of the world.

They didn't want minorities trying to sell them in France because they thought whites would be better for that audience. How many white people do you see chosen to represent hair products for blacks? That would be pretty dumb marketing. And I'm not talking products that everyone uses, but the products specifically for black hair. You want some white skinned blonde with long straight hair selling those products?
