L’Oréal, the French cosmetics giant, has been found guilty of racial discrimination in a French court.
The court proved that L'Oreal deliberately sought all-white sales teams to sell it's Fructis Style shampoo (in the Garnier range). for considering black, Arab and Asian women unworthy of selling its shampoo.
Memos and internal notes were admitted in court which proved that L'Oreal only wanted to employ "white French people" whose mother and fathers were white and French.

What a blow to the image of the world’s biggest cosmetics group! And aren't we glad we found out about it.
Remember last year when Beyonce Knowles did a big L'Oreal campaign and the company were accused of photo shopping her skin to make it look lighter (see picture above)? They rubbished the suggestions then, but looks to me like this company may have some serious issues with race.
