Abercrombie does have a history of discriminating against non-white candidates for employment. Check out the websites I googled for you below.
Yes, it is not possible for a company to have every ethnic group model for them. But it is easily possible to have models who are not only white. And when all the models are white (I haven't seen any who are not), it does imply that their target consumers are whites.
You can't say that they're using only white models because only white people buy their clothes anyway. You can't draw conclusions like that based on only what you see in where you're from. Companies like American Eagle, Aeropostale, Gap, Old Navy, H&M, etc. are all in the same malls and places as the Abercrombie stores are, but they use plenty of non-white models. Abercrombie stores are not all in neighborhoods that are dominated by a white population.
Personally, I love how Abercrombie and Hollister clothes fit me. I'm a small size and their clothes fit me great. But I feel uneasy buying and wearing their clothes knowing that's what they represent.

I'm Asian and I work at Hollister, which is owned by Abercrombie. I don't really mind that there aren't that many pictures of other races, in fact I haven't seen ANY posters of Asians. But there are tons of different races actually working at the stores. The Hollister that I work at in Northern California actually has more "minorities" working for them than White people, our manager is even Asian. Abercrombie started putting more African American models in their catalogs and posters this year too.

no... you cant expect them to have every race modeling for them, and its not racists that they dont have an african american or asian model working for them. the facts are that mostly white people wear AandF so its logical to have white people modeling for them. so no, they are not racists..however if they did turn down a model because they werent white then that would be racist, but as far as i know they havent done that. BTW ive seen african americans modeling for them before.

nicely i'm area black and that i think of i seem greater black than white. Many asian adult men attempt and get with me. in certainty I dated an asian guy for 5 years he replaced into my first genuine boyfriend and the guy i decide directly to start a kin with. issues did no longer artwork out no longer because of the fact of racial issues yet because of the fact we consistently argue approximately dumb s h it. i think of it relatively is popular and not uncommon to verify black/asian couples. i understand approximately 25-50 human beings in those style of unions and the tip effect (little ones) are breath takingly alluring.

Try thinking about it...they want to sell clothes, they dont care who they sell to! More sales = more profit. Money from a black purse is as good as money from a white purse. Now stop being naughty and spreading rumours!!!
