American teen's Vine of white people following him around shops goes viral

The videos have got people talking about racial profiling in the US.

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.

Rashid first filmed himself being followed around a shop back in February:
