According to WPIX-TV, the Center for Popular Democracy said in a new report that Zara's New York employees disproportionately target black shoppers as possible shoplifters. The organization claimed that workers look for "special order" shoppers, defined as "anyone who looks black, not put-together or urban," WPIX said

A Zara representative refuted the claims and said the Center for Popular Democracy has "ulterior motives," according to the Daily Mail.
