Backlash over a Coca-Cola diversity-training course in which employees are encouraged to be less white has resulted in the website Linkedin removing related materials from the site.
The material, shared by a whistleblower, showed images of a learning plan telling employees that being "less white" means being "less oppressive, less arrogant, less certain, less defensive, less ignorant and more humble."
lol racist shit, like the colour of your skin determines these traits, Jesus. These people are idiots.
guys, skin pigment determines whether you're arrogant. What bullshit.
The training slides teach that white people are "socialized to feel that they are inherently superior" and that by age three to four, children understand that being white is better.
Coca-Cola has said the Linkedin seminar is not part of the company's learning curriculum but is instead an optional course on "diversity, equity, and inclusion."
lol, CYA, Boycott these fuckers. Fuck Coke.
"I can understand sometimes there's miscommunication between management and employees," Borysenko told Newsweek. "But the messaging I've seen does use the word 'required.' Everything I've seen says it was part of the coursework, but then it was removed over the weekend once the news broke."
Linkedin, which is owned by Microsoft, told Newsweek that the Confronting Racism course has been removed at the request of the third party.
Dump Microsoft now!
Some white people making these classes actually think white people are superior, That's why they are doing this. I'm sure there are some Chinese, Koreans and Indians that will disagree. And other cultures of course.
