Did the i newspaper just call "young black Americans" undesirable?

Following up on some not-really-news that clothing retailer Abercrombie & Fitch paid reality TV star The Situation to not wear their clothes, the Indy’s junior paper, i published a charticle detailing otherwise respectable companies with an undesirable customer base.

And who does i suggest is suffering from bad clientele? Stella Artois with binge-drinkers, Christian Louboutin with WAGS, Blackberry with London rioters, Burberry with chavs, and Courvoisier with, and I quote, “young, black Americans.”

Really? Of those three words, which one does i find an undesirable consumer of cogac – young, American, or black?
