L'Oreal found guilty of racial discrimination

Rediff.com25 Jun 2009

France's highest court was told L'Oreal had sought an all-white sales staff to promote haircare product Fructis Style. Recruitment agency Districom had sent a fax in 2000 saying Garnier's hostesses should be aged 18 to 22, wear size 38 to 42 clothes and be BBR. BBR (Blue, Black, Red) is an expression widely recognised in the French recruitment world as the code for white French people born to white French parents, in effect excluding the ethnic minorities.
