00:00You know that you're getting close.
00:02When you're hit with the smell of Abercrombie.
00:04The nightclub beats and bare-chested guys.
00:08It was such a pop culture phenomenon.
00:10It was an all-American look.
00:13And I consider myself an all-American girl.
00:18Oh, make me over.
00:20Abercrombie and Fitch said,
00:22we go after the cool kids.
00:25If they didn't look a certain way,
00:27they didn't belong in our clothing.
00:28Are we exclusionary?
00:32Absolutely.
00:35As a manager, you have to recruit good-looking people.
00:39And this is what good-looking is.
00:41Young, thin, and white.
00:45Abercrombie rooted themselves in discrimination
00:47at every single level.
00:49There's a reason people liked that brand.
00:52Exclusion is part of our society.
00:56They were also firing people on the basis of their looks.
01:02Abercrombie said it wasn't that we were being racially discriminated against.
01:06It was that we weren't good-looking enough.
01:10They literally made so much money.
01:13Exclusion was the root of their success.
01:17They had a no-headscarf policy.
01:20Abercrombie went all the way to the Supreme Court.
01:23All-American doesn't mean all-white.
01:27Abercrombie knew that they had a lot to hide.
01:30We have some really troubling behavior.
01:34The story was an indictment
01:37of where our culture was.
01:40They didn't invent evil.
01:44They didn't invent class.
01:47They just packaged it.
01:55They didn't invent evil.
