IT’S NOT OFTEN six-second Vine videos manage to say anything about society, but these two from young Vine user Rashid Polo just might.
While out shopping, Rashid filmed a white employee following him around a store, trying to remain inconspicuous by straightening items on the shelves.
The Vine have since gone viral, amassing over six million views.
