WTF Apple?!?
Cuomo looks into iPad sales over discrimination claim

New York Attorney General Andrew Cuomo is investigating claims that the computer giant Apple has refused to sell its new iPad to people of Asian descent, apparently over smuggling fears.

The Attorney General’s’s civil rights bureau was tipped off by an Assemblywoman from a Chinese-American section of Queens, who complained publicly last month that her constituents were being asked unusual questions when they sought to buy the devices. The iPad was not yet for sale in Asia at the time of the complaints in May.

They were concerned about bulk sales they were afraid could go overseas, but to target people because they look Asian is pretty shitty.
