'I felt like I was racially profiled': Indigenous woman accused of shoplifting


A Calgary woman says she felt racially profiled after being accused of shoplifting while shopping at a southeast optometry store on Mother's Day. The video shows the sales associate at Southcentre's Pearle Vision store suggesting Linda Nothing, who is Indigenous, stole two pairs of glasses. "I said you were looking at them and I wondered if you knew where they were," the sales associate says in the video. Nothing had yet to hear from Pearle Vision directly, but hopes this is a learning experience. Nothing said she would like an apology, but more importantly, she would like more diversity training for Pearle Vision staff members.
