A black teenager has won £16,000 from Topshop after a tribunal found she’d been racially abused

The Mail reports Shaniqua McKenzie worked at the Wimbledon branch, and says the abuse made her fearful she would experience it at every job in her adulthood.

She says she wanted to transfer to the Kingston branch, but her manager, Michelle Polland, became angry at her wanting to leave.

The judge said Shaniqua was attacked with “words which were often seen as hallmark words denoting racism”.
