3. Racist Mannequins
This dark-skinned mannequin with unflattering facial features, like buck teeth, outward ears and slanted eyes, caused havoc when Macy’s used it in its department store in August. Facebook user Bill Grieve posted it to Macy’s Facebook wall on August 26, 2014, writing “Really Macys this is how you treat people this just means I won’t go into another macys ever again.” The department store responded quickly, on the same day in fact, stating that it had “since removed the mannequins” and apologises “to anyone who was offended, as that was absolutely not our intention.”
