Walmart assistant manager fired for mocking Muslim women in traditional dress on Facebook

The assistant manager of a Walmart store in New York has been fired for posting derogatory comments online about Muslim women.

Terry Earsing, 54, posted a photo on Facebook of two Muslim women wearing traditional dress who were shopping in an aisle of the Walmart in Hamburg, where he worked.

As a caption to the photo, he wrote, 'Halloween came early this year.... do they really have to f***in dress like that...your [sic] in my country ... get that f***in s*** off!!!!!'

The posting was brought to the attention of Wal-Mart executives by the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) and a member of the local Muslim community.

A Wal-Mart spokeswoman told The Buffalo News Wednesday that Earsing was promptly fired after Wal-Mart learned of the incident. [Daily Mail] Read more
