Iranian-American woman says Apple refused to sell her an iPad

[Zorro C9]

Better to aim too low than too high (I think that's the official Victoria Uni motto isn't it?)

You seem to think that insulting my uni will get a rise but I simply don't buy into that bollocks. At the end of the day, this uni is better than Min's and that's all I care about.

I read "buried their faces in my carry on juggage".

I got it right the second time.

We were supposed to picture an angry guy with a beard? We have lots of Persians in the states so we pretty much know what they look like.

Jafarzadeh does the metro look pretty well.

[Zorro C9]

They certainly look like madmen to me.

Well it may have been on the wall of a urinal that I saw the motto....

Sniff test huh?

[California Joe]

Let me put it in terms you will understand:

"She speaky-speaky double-plus good. You dumb."

Slowly, slowly, catchee monkey...

I'm not from the South Island; I'm not quite *that* simple.

Yes, you are...

airport security are thorough, they thought my refill pack of babywipes was drugs as they buried their faces in my carry-on luggage

That's so naughty...

Pretty sure it was more about panties....

The U.S. holds complete embargoes against Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Sudan, and Syria

The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) released a statement after the incident, calling on Apple to change its corporate policy on sales to Iran

So CAIR doesnt mind the ban on North Korea, Cuba, Syria and Sudan, as long as they sell to Iran? well thought out response that.

I don't think this is racial profiling, at least not intentionally. I would bet that this is some crap that came down from corporate level in an effort to comply with federal requirements. The stupid thing is this isn't something that should be expected of unqualified mall clerks in fear of their jobs to do. It's for the mail system and airport screeners.

Still I am getting sick of everyone pulling the race card. Some of you chuckleheads make it sound like the Apple clerks are closet KKK looking to harass A-RAABS or sand******* for the fun of it. That's it, ignorant anti-progressive 'merca afraid of anyone that doesn't look act and talk like they do... yee-fukin-haw! You guys jumping to this conclusion is no better than what you're accusing them of. Y'all are so refined.

Imagine if she was American Israeli, every news station and talk show would have brough up the Anti-Semitism line for weeks on end.

When we set up accounts with US companies like HP and so forth, we have to go through inductions with them and sign all sorts of documents saying we won't sell equipment to a bunch of countries.
