She was “overwhelmed” with emotions after seeing the cup and felt humiliated and a deep sense of indignity.
“The moment I saw it, I was overwhelmed with a lot of emotions. I felt belittled and so humiliated. I cannot believe that in this day and age, something like this can be considered acceptable. It isn’t okay,” she added.
After receiving her order, Aishah asked for the manager but they dismissed the incident as a mistake. Instead, Aishah received a new drink and a USD 25 gift card.
“We have investigated the matter and believe that it was not a deliberate act but an unfortunate mistake that could have been avoided with more clarification. We’re taking appropriate actions with the team member, including additional training, to ensure this does not occur again,” the statement said.
Aishah said no one from Target had reached out to apologize. She says even the employee never asked how to spell her name.
CAIR Minnesota will file discrimination charges
CAIR is planning to file discrimination charges with the U.S. Department of Human Rights and is considering protesting.
“This is not a simple mistake. No one puts the KKK on the cup of somebody’s drink,” said Jaylani Hussein, executive director of CAIR Minnesota.
