Target is investigating how laminated cards advocating for white supremacist groups ended up in boxes of diapers it sold.
In a blog post, the Anti-Defamation League said it has received at least two complaints, including a Target customer in Washington, D.C., who found a card reading, “It’s Okay to be White.”
Update: In an April 10 email, Target said it identified the person responsible as an employee and that it had fired that person “given this is a violation of our policies and our commitment to inclusivity.”
“We sincerely apologize and share our guest’s concerns about the inappropriate message they found in their Target purchase,” a Target rep wrote in an email to Adweek.
