Yesterday a bombshell about Coca-Cola’s online “training” program telling people to be “less white” broke on social media. People weren’t sure if this was real or not, as it seemed to far fetched for even the craziest corporation to do something like this. Turns out, not only is this Coca-Cola “be less white” online training thing real, they are happy about it and don’t plan on getting rid of it. The video circulating is a video from Linkedin’s series.

So Coca-Cola basically admits:
1) it’s currently a part of their training
2) they have no plans to remove it
3) they believe its racist, hateful, and anti-scientific content is consistent with pursuing the purpose of their training, which is to “build an inclusive workplace”

It’s in the curriculum. That means it’s a focus.
