An Apple manager has apologized to six teenagers of African descent after staff kicked them out of an Australian store citing concerns they “might steal something”, with a video of the incident going viral on Facebook.

The video, recorded by one of the students from Maribyrnong College in Melbourne, has been viewed almost 60,000 times after it was posted on Facebook on Tuesday with the caption “simply racism”.​
