Kimberly Houzah says she and another black woman were told to leave the store by someone she thought was a manager. The lingerie giant said the employee is no longer with the company.

In her video, Houzah says the incident started when a third African-American woman was allegedly accused of shoplifting on Wednesday at the store at the Quintard Mall in Oxford. The manager, Houzah says, then told her and a third black woman they needed to leave the store.

The advert promoted an article headlined, "The United States was founded as a white people's republic."

Mr Dorsey tweeted that the firm had "made a mistake" and blamed an automated system.

However, according to reports, Twitter had originally said a screenshot of the advert appeared to be fake.

The two men, Willem Oosthuizen and Theo Jackson, appeared in court on Wednesday facing charges of assault with intent to cause grievous bodily harm. Oosthuizen and Jackson dropped their bail application and were sent back to jail to await trial. The case has been postponed to January 25, 2017.

The victim, Victor Rethabile Mlotshwa told reporters outside court: "They accused me of trespassing and they asked me questions, they chased me and started beating me up and took me to the nearest farm where they beat me up and put me in a coffin.

The Southern Poverty Law Center has counted more than 300 cases of hateful harassment or intimidation in the US since Election Day.

"They've been everywhere -- in schools, in places of business like Walmart, on the street," SPLC President Richard Cohen said Monday.

Black riders faced longer wait times and more frequent cancellations than white riders, the research indicates.

Women were more likely to be overcharged or taken on elongated routes, it says.

Researchers took nearly 1,500 rides in Seattle and Boston, gathering data from three taxi-hailing companies.

The two-year study was conducted by researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Stanford and the University of Washington.

Natoli, who has played for Manly Marlins and French club Bordeaux Begles, put a photo on Instagram of himself dressed as Aboriginal man holding a bottle of petrol and a spear.

The photo had the caption: "Every now and then you just need to culturally enrich yourself and get in touch with the dreamtime."

Further research into Natoli's Instagram found several more racial posts.

Natoli apologised via Instagram on Tuesday for dressing up as an Aboriginal but is yet to comment on the other discovered posts.

He told the BBC's Victoria Derbyshire programme the film world was seen as "very, very progressive", but was "lagging behind" industries in encouraging diversity.

Radcliffe also said it was hard for gay actors to come out for fear of being typecast in gay roles.

And he stated that he did not want to play Potter again "at this point".

The 27-year-old British actor has starred as JK Rowling's child wizard in several films since 2001.

The article -- which warned London visitors about going to neighborhoods with large populations of "Indians, Pakistanis and black people" -- set off a storm of protest on social media and prompted a British lawmaker to demand an apology from the airline.

An apology was posted on Air China's North American Twitter account Wednesday afternoon in the U.S., saying copies of the magazine were being removed from flights. But the tweet was deleted hours later without explanation.

Last week a young boy in Perth attended a school event with his skin painted black in tribute to his idol, Australian Rules player Nic Naitanui.

The incident sparked furious discussion on social media.

Bec Bee, who is of Aboriginal descent, said there were "double standards" inflaming racial debates in Australia.

"I didn't see blackface," she told the BBC. "I saw a young fella who was proud to emulate his idol. There was no intent of racism."

The mother had intended for her son to look like his idol, AFL player Nic Naitanui, for his school's book week.

But her Facebook post caused a huge outcry from those who saw it as racist.

In a measured statement, the player said the boy's attempt to emulate his hero "hurts my heart".

The Australian Football League player, who plays for West Coast Eagles, said children were "unaware of the painful significance" of blackface.
