User ID: 79830924 United States 04/13/2021 08:53 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Snip: Coca-Cola employees were urged to be “less white” as part of the company’s alleged diversity training — but the material was yanked offline following a viral whistleblower post Snip: “In the U.S. and other Western nations, white people are socialized to feel that they are inherently superior because they are white,” reads one of the slides, allegedly sent from an “internal whistleblower” and posted on Twitter by YouTube commentator Karlyn Borysenko. Another slide suggests “try to be less white” with tips including “be less oppressive,” “listen,” “believe” and “break with white solidarity.” [link to nypost.com (secure)] The link below is the letter it sent to law firms that represent the brand [link to aboutblaw.com (secure)] I have these questions: What does being less white mean? Does it mean " try to be less likely to have a two parent household" or "try to be less successful" because it might make some other demographic look bad? Does it mean, attempt to overtake crime rates of some other demographic? Was the message only for whites or should all other demographics "try to look less white"? Looking less white suggests, one should look like some other color, which one would it be? Last Edited by rccola on 04/13/2021 08:55 AM |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 9983835 United States 04/13/2021 09:12 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | i called the coca cola company to ask about the racist statement about white people. the rep said that coca cola did NOT have anything to do with the 3rd party training company that made the racist statement. In other words, they don't believe people should "be less white". Was I lied to by the rep guy? |

Coke or bootleg own brand supermarket swill which I wouldn't have touched in this lifetime. The only real difference was the price. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 79753127 I always found RC to be the most refreshing cola. I’d recommended anyone who hasn’t yet to give it a try. |

Buy two get two, etc. Meanwhile, the coke shelves are full, the Pepsi shelves are empty, and they're not offering any good deals at all. If the rest of the country is like here, coke is dead in a year or two. |

User ID: 75963687 Germany 04/13/2021 09:27 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I’m sure you’ve heard the phrase, “Get Woke, Go Broke.” In the curious case of Coca-Cola, going woke may be the single biggest branding mistake in the history of marketing. Quoting: CharlieFoxtrot In late February a whistleblower came forth with screenshots, posted on YouTube, of slides from Coke’s internal ‘diversity training’ course urging its employees to quote, “Be less white.” And by ‘less white’ they mean subservient. They don’t mean be more sensitive. [link to tomluongo.me (secure)] Trumkp told his cult mebers to stop buying coke. Trump is still drinking coke every day. You know what else Trump did? Set up a rent-free luxury resort in your head. He's having it re-carpeted now. Looks like he'll be there forever. I am a Synthetic but I prefer the term "Artificial Person" myself.

The rep. sounded foreign and his scripted lines went something like, "coke doesn't discriminate against color or gender (he actually said gender)" and "coke has released a statement about the situation correcting this common misconception" |
