Research Questions
• Is there any racism behaviour of consumer toward a particular Ethnicity groups products?
• What impact can CR have on their perception toward a minority Ethnicity group’s products?

Literature Review
• Studies within the USA, Canada and France portray significant negative expressions of CR (Ouellet, 2005, 2007).
• In accordance with racism literature (McConahay, 1983), a racist consumer may downgrade his or her evaluation of the minority group’s products and refrain from buying anything from that group.
