Has anyone seen this story that's been brewing the the past few days?

Essentially Coca Cola ran an employee online training course thing about confronting racism etc; Nothing out of the ordinary for 2021 - typical box-ticking corporate woke stuff.
But rather astonishingly the presentation featured undeniably racist statements such as "to be less white is to be less arrogant", ending with a slide "Try to be less white"

Does anyone else think it's incredibly concerning that there are (clearly multiple as it must have been signed off) people working in the depths of HR in large companies such as this, that harbour such radically extremist views that they think this is completely ok?

I think this thread has run it's course, will give it a little while to improve or will close it

Nooooo don't do that. In the face of the growing mountain of memes Coca Cola are inevitably going to come out with either a strange justification or hilarious distancing/backtrack at any time now; an event which will have insufficient substance to justify a new thread in its own right, but will round this one off very nicely.
