Assholes in the news

[arewethereyet]

Coca Cola are assholes for pushing one of the most racist things I've ever seen on their employees. "Diversity training".

Snopes is working to confirm or deny this as being something that was put out there by Coca Cola.  It's a LinkedIn learning module.  Stand by for the real thing.

What's True
Screenshots shared widely in February 2021 were authentic snapshots of a real online course on LinkedIn, featuring Robin DiAngelo and entitled "Confronting Racism."
What's False
However, the presence of a Coca-Cola logo in a screenshot taken from LinkedIn does not prove that the video course featuring DiAngelo was required viewing for Coca-Cola employees. Coca-Cola has explicitly denied that the course, which included a section entitled "Try to be less white," was part of the curriculum for its mandatory diversity, equity, and inclusion training.
What's Undetermined
We have not yet been able to corroborate Coca-Cola's denial.
