Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), is accused of racism in Australia after its employees refused to give access to an Apple Store to some young students fearing that they could steal displayed products.
If the young people had not been black, then probably few people would have paid attention to this case, but in the given situation, the video clip below was viewed by many people on the Internet in various social networks and forced the Apple company to apologize for the employees' behavior.
Accusations of racism are brought into discussion in the conditions that the skin color of the young people is the reason why the Apple employees refused to give them access to the store, the Apple company contacting them to apologize for the way they were treated.
Tim Cook has been promoting equal rights and treatment for Apple employees for several years, and the same is also applied to customers who visit Apple Stores, so incidents of this kind put Tim Cook's efforts in a negative position.
