My thought to this remark that was *allegedly* made was that the manager very well could have meant that she (assuming it was such - but hey, if it was a guy, there's nothing wrong with that  ) was saying "yummy - we need more people who look like him". ............ And NO ONE mentioned the performance record of these people -- how do we know what they were doing at work?

Pretty much anything in a coutroom is alleged... if Ambercrombie did in fact fire her because of a poor work record, I'm pretty sure they would try to prove that in court. If however, she did not have a bad record, it's going to be pretty hard to convice 12 people that they fired her for poor work. So even though it didn't come up in the article, it would be my guess that they are going to at least *try* to prove that in court with work records.

I guess it boils down to this for me - I don't care if you are green, purple, or rainbow striped -- if you do your job, and you are good at it, then no one should have a problem with you. If it is a true discrimination case, then they deserve to sue and win their case.

I agree. Although unfortunately, not all people think the same as you (about the green, purple and rainbow-striped people.)
Out of observation in the various Abercrombie stores I've been in various parts of Texas, a lot of the employees pretty much look the same. Not "all" employees, but a lot of them. That's just my observation though.
I also think that whole "we only want people from the 'popular' fraternities and sororities" deal is stupid, but that's just me
