A group of African teens was told to leave an Apple store in Melbourne because staff were worried they "might steal something".
A video of the interaction between a Highpoint Apple store staff member and a group of students has gone viral after being uploaded on Facebook on Tuesday night.
The six boys from Maribyrnong College were denied entry to the store by a staff member and two security guards.
"These guys (security guards) are just a bit worried about your presence in our store. They're just worried you might steal something," the Apple staff member says in the video.
Many comments on social media say it was a blatant case of racial profiling.
"That's what people do, racial profiling happens a lot, and white Australians want to ignore that. Smart of u guys for recording it," Fardawsa Shanino wrote on Facebook.
Apple has been contacted for comment.
