"I felt racially profiled & # 39 ;: Female kicked out of Virginia Dunkin" Donuts

An African-American woman says that the owner of a Virginia Dunkin Donuts kicked her out of the store and called the police when she accused the owner of profiling her.

Tirza Wilbon White said she was on a Dunkin & # 39; Donuts in Fairfax using free Wi-Fi when a white woman identified as owner of the store, a white woman told her and another color they had to buy something if they wanted to stay.

"I was wearing a hood, yoga pants, no makeup," White said. "I felt racially profiled."

White began recording video of his meeting with the owner.

"I need to secure security to my customers and I'm not saying you're a problem, but I've had problems before," the owner can be heard to say in the video.

"I had not committed a crime, I did not shout. I was not disturbing. I was not rude," White told News4.

When the confrontation escalated, the White accused of knowing her because of her race.

"Do not join race profiling. You can leave the place. I find it offensive," the woman says in the video.

The owner then called the police.

When White asks the boss why she must go, he says, "Because she wants you to."

A spokesman for Dunkin's Donuts Corporate told News4 the company apologized to White for the incident.

"We and our franchisees want every customer who walks into a Dunkin restaurant to be treated with dignity and respect t. This did not happen in a restaurant in Fairfax, Virginia. We have regretted the customer, but we know that's not enough, "read the statement.

News4s Mark Segraves went to the same restaurant on Thursday and sat in the store for more than 20 minutes of Wi-Fi without being asked to leave. An employee in the store told Segraves that he was not required to buy anything. But a new sign in the store says that customers have to buy something to sit inside.

News4 has reached the shop owner for an answer but has not yet heard.
