Walmart was apologizing on Monday after an appalling description of a product by a third-party vendor made its way onto the retail giant’s website. The retailer was slammed early Monday after the color of a netting weave cap — used as a protective layer between a person’s hair and sewn-in hair extensions — on its site was described as the color “N— Brown.”

Some h1b worker screwed up

Now we get the faux outrage because it is obviously not corporate policy to use that word

The Disclaimer in the first picture they use states that Walmart doesn't check the descriptions and that it hasn't been verified by them.
