Actually I remember hearing an interview about a local (Italian) singer on the matter. She had posted some surgery/health stuff she was going through/dealing with and said a few things about Internet comments. She suggested that social media platforms should give check marks to all verified people so people could put their face to their nasty comments. Basically prove their identity in a way. Almost as if there was idk a green check next to my Instagram handle that means they verified my identity and my profile pic and info matches or can be tracked back to me as a person. I do see some issues with it and privacy. Expecially on the side of overbearing bosses using it to micromanage worker outside of work etc. But at least they can trace back all you say back to you. There's no hiding. Also I guess the singer was referring to people with other people as their profile or no image at all. I barely use Instagram. I haven't opened it in a year or so. But all my info in there is my actual info as I'm not afraid to be honest and have my words tracked to me. Because I stand by what I say and I don't have some weird ideology. So I know most people would scroll past my comments and not even read them they're that boring. But I'm like that because I have nothing to hide. I don't have any fake account or anything. Edit: I didn't make it clear enough I think. But the singer's idea is so people would put their face where their mouth is. Put their identity on the nasty things they have to say. And not some blank image.

I'm from Guatemala and I'm so sad the world now knows about my country because of them. The worst is the fact these kids study at one of the most expensive schools in Guatemala. They go with the American school schedule, most of their classes are in English, overall their lives go around American culture, and are so different from the regular Guatemalan, it's like if they live in the USA. So saying they "didn't know black face is" or that "they didn't knew it was incorrect" it's a complete lie. I would believe that if it was a poor kid from the rural areas but them?

Just totally ignorant

Reminds me of when I was a summer camp assistant counselor in 2008 and there was a white 2nd grader who joined the session a little later than the rest of the kids. Prior to this 2nd grader showing up, the kids were playing normal kid games during recess. Hide and seek, tag, etc. The first day this kid showed up, he suggested to the other kids that they play "throw rocks" during recess. Obviously, not a good choice no matter what, but what made this "game" infinitely worse was they were playing "throw rocks...at the only black kid in the group." I was livid and immediately made them stop playing "throw rocks." I informed this kids parents and they seemed to understand that was not a good choice for their kid to make and said they would talk to him about "making safe choices." The next day during recess I heard this kid yell out "let's play slave and master!" He pointed at the black kid and said "You'll be the slave and I'll be your master!" Before I could get to them and intervene, the black kid had got on all fours and the white kid was pantomiming puting a leash around the other kids neck! I managed to put a stop to that "game" as well, but was just so shocked that a 2nd grader could even conceive of these "games" and clearly be actively racist. Of course I brought it up to his parents and they laughed and said "no way that happened!" The lead counselor came over and backed me up and told them that it had in fact happened at it was not a laughing matter. They laughed it off again and said "we'll have another talk with him." The lead and I exchanged knowing looks as these parents left. The next day, this little boy made another suggestion to the black kid that they play "hangman" on the monkey bars. At this point, I had caught on and was standing right next to him when he said this. I shouted out "NOPE!" and I pulled this little boy aside and explained in a very quiet stern voice that what he was doing was wrong, that it was racist (had to explain what that was) and that I never want to see him treat others this way, even as a game, ever again. The rest of the summer the kids resumed playing normal little kid games and treating each other with respect. Racism is absolutely taught from one generation to the next and it is on us to do the work to stop it.

the fact that kids tried to hide as soon as they saw camera says it all. they KNOW what they're doing. otherwise they wouldn't be trying to hide if they thought it was something innocent and funny. and so do their parents when demanding to delete the video. when i was a kid and we were covering ourselves head to toes in light grey clay to jump in the water so it all turns from clear to white - if we were filmed we would still do it. many kids did it with mud - and would still do it. because our intentions were indeed innocent and we indeed wouldn't have known that something is wrong. no one was making animal noises then either (who were in mud). they all just ran and yelled "CANNONBALL!!!" this is THE difference between not knowing and having no ill intentions and knowing yet still doing it!

Why did the woman want the video deleted if her children weren't doing anything wrong? They knew exactly what they were doing.

Robert, I agree with you 100%. Here's an idea for Sephora: Remove all of your tester products and samples. If someone wants to try a product, ask a salesperson for it. If Sephora does not want to "police" or "babysit" these rude children and their clueless parents, then don't make your products readily available for sample in the stores. This incident should have never been allowed to occur. Sad and disgusting.

The whole concept of the store was initially about allowing people to shop luxury brands without feeling intimidated or discriminated against by snooty SAs who didn’t want to help *certain people* (ie old, perceived poor, non-white). If they want to keep that model or ethos, they should train and allow their SAs to throw kids or adults like this out of the store and ban them.

My 14yo daughter and I were in Target recently and when we came close to the Ulta section near the checkout, she refused to even go near it because she didn't want to be even remotely associated with "Sephora kids" in general, let alone kids like this. While I was looking at some products, a very small girl came up and pointed at the first thing at her eye level and told her mom, "I want this little one." Her mom replied in an exasperated tone, "You don't need that, you're 8." It was The Ordinary Multi Peptide Eye Serum. Neither were rude or messy, but it shows the effect social media has on these very young kids. That was my first encounter with this phenomenon. I had hoped these stories were being overblown, so seeing it with my own eyes was surreal.

Not to mention that mom definitely isn't squashing racism in her own household. She's actively promoting it with how she was perfectly fine with them doing it and wanting to take pictures of them doing it. At this point I'd have to say Sephora needs to lock it's stuff up away from kids at this point. It sucks for everyone else who wants to use a tester but it's just safer at this point and easier for us to ask for a tester to be unlocked than letting people make the place unsanitary for use.

I think testers should be done away with altogether. If you want to try something, you should have to ask the employee for a sample. I also feel like Sephora needs to implement an age policy: no one under the age of 16 without an adult present. Then, samples can only be given to the adult.

I've worked at Sephora and to answer your question: NO they care nothing about their "CAST & CREW" they would let people blatantly disrespect you and inform you to just take it. THEY DO NOT CARE ABOUT THE STAFF. Yes, they have security, but only there to make sure no one steals anything.

I use to go to Sephora at least once a week just to browse around and look at things. Occasionally I would make a purchase. I’m disabled so that’s my getting out of the house time when I feel well enough to do it. I haven’t been in one since all of this started a few months ago. Sephora better do something. They’re already losing a ton of their most popular brands to ulta (Pat McGrath, Natasha Denona, Charlotte tilbury, sol de JANEIRO etc). They’re going to be losing a lot more brands and customers if they don’t get this 💩 under control

As a Sephora employee, this isn't the first time this has happened. I want everyone to recognize that it was a brand rep who approached the girls and the mom. Sephora has demoted thousands of employees and cutting hours. A money saving tactic is to have brand reps take over most of the day to day sales. In case anyone had questions as to why no managers and employees were involed.

I don't think people realize the historical implications of blackface. It's not just messing around and putting vastly differently colored foundations on your face, it's mocking an aspect about a person's appearance (skin color) that they were born with. Blackface used to be used by white people to mock black people by dehumanizing them and boiling them down into a caricature to entertain a white audience. The parents could have used that moment, especially since their daughter was so young, to educate her. But instead, they gaslit the woman filming into thinking she is the one overreacting. This whole ordeal just makes me sick. I'm so glad people were supporting the woman who was filming. I could go on and on... I don't like people sometimes -____-

Parents need to do better and break the cycle of racism. It is very much possible to break that kind of cycle because my own sister(Same mother different father so my sister is mixed with Colombian & Salvadoran from her father's side and she looks very much indigenous with her beautiful brown skin n' unique beautiful face features) anyhow my sister married into a family who has roots that trace back to the KKK her husband has told us that is his family's past history but that is not who he is and he always protected us. I am ligh skin Latina but even whites know could easily tell I am not one of them so what does this mean her husband protected us he would never let us leave his home at night time because at the time of their start of his relationship he lived in smaller city named Waxahachie Texas so he always told us its safer if we stayed indoors at night time so if we needed anything he go out of the house with us by his side so we took his word because with his past family's history he knows what safe and not but in this ideal world we only wish this fear and racism no longer exist but it sadly does so instead mfolks need to heal and do better then what they we're born into if that all makes sense..

As a mother, it’s my job to raise my children to become the best versions of themselves. Before I saw this, I never for a moment considered that there would be people out there who would allow their children to do this and actively encourage it. These “children” are more than old enough to know better. My 8 year old recognises that this is wrong so a teenager absolutely does. If this mother doesn’t want to hold her children accountable for their actions, then society will. They deservedly lost their right to privacy when they brought their private hatred and vitriol into a public space. I hope they learn a lesson that their bad actions and bad deeds have consequences, and as a society - people won’t stand for this behaviour. Also, the girl who recorded this incident is a black woman witnessing blatant racism. She confronted the mother off camera, and the mother didn’t care and shifted the blame to her children who apparently aren’t old enough to be responsible for their own actions. Then the mother seemed out the 22 year old because she realised that she’d been recorded, which in a public space in perfectly legal.

These children knew that what they were doing was wrong, but felt "okay" in doing it because the adult with them essentially condoned their behavior by not calling them out on it and correcting it. You can tell by the obvious look of shock and shame on the girl in the striped sweater that she realized she had been caught doing something she shouldn't have been doing. The fact that the mother's main issue was trying to figure out who was filming and how to get the video back is clearly an indicator of how she didn't see what her children were doing was wrong. Whether it was blackface or just misusing the product ("strangely" enough, the testers aren't put out there for you to do a full face of make up), this is just disgusting. It's not only the job of Sephora to do something about it, but also of the parents who let their children run amok in public. I get you may be a tired mom, lord knows I was as a single parent, but you get no sympathy for being too tired to parent.

I am a primary school teacher and believe me they have been raised by iPads. I live in Australia and some of these kids actually have American accents because they continue to watch SO much crap on screens. I also have 2 kindergarten kids whose family speak English at home but they can only mutter a few words. They simply have no adult speaking to them at home. That’s how kids acquire language, manners, self control in the first 5 years. The millennial parents are also quite lazy. They expect teachers and schools to do everything from give their children 3 meals a day, give them school uniforms and then expect to text teachers WHEN THEY’RE TRYING TO TEACH YOUR KID and rant about their kid not getting the breakfast they want. WTF. I know some demographics need assistance and that is fine and has always been taken care of as best we can at school level but it’s simplistic just to blame the pandemic for everything. It’s in the rear view mirror and now parents need to take responsibility for their children, just as we have done and make changes. It can be as simple as no one uses screens at home for 1 hour, then 2 and so on and so forth. Instead go for a walk together, put on some music and dance in the kitchen, make a bloody packet cake…anything to encourage talk, eye to eye contact, basic skills like measuring out stuff, counting the beat.whatever. It really doesn’t matter. The first 5 years of a child’s life will form them basically into what they will become as an adult. All their values and internal messaging are set by YOU parents and carers.

Parents seem to demand others, especially teachers, to do things for their children, but they seem unwilling to invest the time and attention into helping their kids have manners and judgment over what they see. If kids are allowed to have unfettered access to the internet, AND this isn't balanced by intentional conversations about the kinds of things they see on social media and in movies, the kids are not going to grow up knowing how to be critical thinkers and they will think that disrespectful behavior is acceptable.

I'm not sure how things work in the UK, but in the US there's no law that prohibits you from filming people in public spaces. Consent isn't relevant here when speaking legally. Sephora can have policies against filming in the store, but you're also legally allowed to film from outside private businesses if blinds are open.

Malls in the U.S. are considered private property. They're usually owned by one of the major mall property entities and you are supposed to get their permission before filming. And the Sephora in question is in the Prudential Center mall. I used to live in Boston but am not sure how strict they are regarding filming, since I've never filmed in one. My sister and I have gotten in trouble for filming during two separate instances at other malls. My sister had to film a social experiment on bias for her high school class. Her Muslim friend had a sign saying that if you're not scared of her, to give her a hug. Some Karen got offended and complained to security. Her friend got a citation for "solicitation" and they were criticized for filming without permission. They weren't even in a store. Just in the common area. I used to be a PBS reporter and had to film a story on a local mall closing in an area with a large elderly population (who don't do online shopping). I was in the parking lot just filming the outside of the mall. Two so-called security officials drive up in an unmarked car and told me I can't film.

@@sssarah.v, what an unbalanced comment. Did you have trouble understanding the video, or just reading? Of course it doesn't excuse racism.

~14yos should know better, I wouldn’t even say they’re “Sephora kids,” generally I assume these kids are ~8-12 and haven’t worked out how to behave in public yet (not that that would excuse it at all), but not mid-teenagers

While I agree with you, they are still minors. Imagine you did something stupid as a 13 year old and someone recorded and it went viral. Do you understand how damaging that is for a kid’s mental health? It’s wild that not one comment I’ve read has expressed this. I blame the parents, 100%

@@Nicole__Natalia this isn’t doing something “stupid” this is racism by young people who have obviously been raised to believe someone with a skintone deeper than theirs is someone to be ridiculed . The fact that the parents /chaperones weren’t horrified by the behaviour really cements how disgusting these people are regardless of age. Continuing to be raised by adults with type of mindset and not being called out on this behaviour is going to be far more detrimental to their mental health long term .

I know I'm playing the devil's advocate and what the girls and their mom did was absolutely disgusting but let's be honest, they did deserve their privacy. The fact that some random stranger is trying to track them sits wrong with me. Absolutely wrong. Tell me if it's okay to be put on blast on social media for something you did at 13? And to be essentially tracked, stalked and doxxed by a random man on tik tok who does this so he doesn't have to get a regular job. This is dystopian. These girls and their mom should be punished in a lawful way. But let's not give too much credit to someone for making a social media post.

I think everyone should write to the corporate office of sephora and tell him they need to ban these kids out of their store for destroying it, and make it fun of another race.

The fact they did this in public says a lot about their environment. (social learning theory).

As a fellow Singaporean, that CEO of TikTok should be held accountable. I don't mind seeing him being grilled to no end on what TikToXICITY has been feeding to the young minds. He is a disgrace to the whole of Singapore seriously. Also, the extent of damage these Alphas have done thus far is already considered as vandalism. There should just be age limit to enter Sephora cos sooner or later they'd take the premise as their playground or lab room. 🙄 Disgusting generation.

It’s not TikToks fault, it’s the parents who don’t want to raise their child and monitor what they’re watching. My nieces are now allowed to have TikTok bc of all this disgusting behavior going around.

I lived in Singapore when I was little! It was beautiful. I couldn’t agree more about how disgusting the world has gotten, especially since the rise of Tik Tok where it’s suddenly so easy for the most hateful opinions and crap to go viral. Suddenly all these nasty people are spreading their hatred around so much easier, god I can’t stand it. I especially fear for my daughters, like I can’t imagine having to go to school and grow up with tik tok. The other platforms we had were bad enough!

Blaming it on a platform deflects from the real problem. Bad parenting breeds bad behavior. If a person is toxic, they’ll be toxic anywhere they go.

I’m sorry but it’s definitely not TikTok’s fault or any social media platform’s fault (though they definitely need to make their platforms better). It’s the parents’/parent’s fault. How long are we gonna blame TikTok for being “omg bad and cringey” when every single social media platform is the exact same? How long are we gonna blame social media platforms for kids behavior when social media isn’t the one that should be parenting? Gen Alpha aren’t the disgusting ones, the parents and other adults not caring about how things effect children are disgusting and disgraceful.

If you’re old enough to F around, you’re old enough to find out! Love it.

Preach! Thank you for addressing this, Robert. ❤

As soon as I saw you were doing a video on this topic I knew it had to be the Prudential incident. A friend works there on the shop floor, he’s been with the company since the one black glove days, and loved working there until the past few months. You are absolutely correct that Sephora needs to fix this, the staff turnover is unbelievable and they can’t hire enough people because nobody wants to work for them anymore.

Absolutely horrible. Even if the kids "didn't know" what they were doing. It's the parents job to educate them!!! So sad.

The “too young” excuse is sooooo dumb. When I was 15, I once called out a girl who posted a screenshot of a pic of her in a charcoal mask with a text and saying something alone the lines of “like black face lol” and then reposted it on to her private instagram. I called her out and sent her a bunch of dms about it; but I was the only one who got in trouble since I didn’t “do” the reporting process right or whatever, and got a detention sort of punishment for so-called “cyber bullying”
