Preventing Shoplifting Is Racist

Persons of politically preferred pigmentation are suing in rage after finding their haircare products locked up to prevent shoplifting at Walmart:

Now why do you suppose Walmart would lock up black haircare products? Because they want to drive away black customers out of sheer malice? Or because black haircare products tend to get shoplifted?

If it is going to sell black haircare products, Walmart has three options: (1) remove the locked cases and let thieves help themselves, with law-abiding citizens picking up the tab through higher prices on everything; (2) lock up the white products too, inconveniencing everyone because of the lawlessness of a minority; (3) issue a statement that those who don’t want to be treated like thieves should refrain from stealing haircare products.

Since option #3 is the only one that makes sense, it can be ruled out immediately.
