What kind of bias training is it when the company excused is non-white employees from attending? Only whites can be racist?

Yes, Starbucks anti-bias training is ipso facto racist. Mandatory attendance is based upon race.

From all my visits to Starbucks....I’d say the vast number of employees are minority types, and college students (probably making up 70-percent of the work-force). If you had some diversity training which only 50-percent of your work-force had to attend...everyone will take it as a joke. At the Pentagon Starbucks, it was a 90-percent make-up of women, when I was there in 2011/2012.

Starbucks Shelters will be open 24/7. It doesnt want to kick out the homeless at the end of the day.

Where are they going to put the cots?

It is a heavy handed management tool to appease their new potential subject-to-regulatory-approval business partner. John Calvin never met a management tool he didn’t like—aka Nestle. Send that 7 Billion on a pallet please.

They weren’t arrested for existing as black people, but for trespassing in breach of a reasonable policy. Sheesh! Ridiculous idiots. Except that it’s all racist, leftist agitprop identity politics.

29 May: Axios: A preview of Starbucks’ anti-bias training
by Stef W. Kight
What it looks like: Starbucks employees will be given a history of civil rights, will view a documentary and will “move into a real and honest exploration of bias” in small groups, according to a video preview of the training. This curriculum was developed after Starbucks reached out to the NAACP Legal Defense and Education Fund, the Perception Institute and other social advocacy groups...

Back in the real world, the majority of racism is actually directed at wytpepo. It was even a theme in the latest Marvel movie. But I guess not ordering anything while occupying tables in a restaurant and then trying to make a federal case out of it is more newsworthy than the hundreds of kids bullied every day in and out of school, or the polar bear hunts that persist across the country (and in other countries), some under the guise of antifa. Whatever. Stay in your bubble, Starbucks.

So basically anti-bias is anti-white.

I can only hope enough people get sick of this, it’s approaching a new McCarthyism. I’m not sure if the best strategy is when you are subject to this kind of training... To protest or go along quietly and bide your time u til the tipping point arrives.

Some employee should sue Starbuck$ for being racist against them by claiming because of their skin color they are racist.

All this BS. That’s why I prefer to get a cup of coffee at the local greasy spoon. No Diversity Training, no politics. Just a nice cup o’ Joe...

Only whites can be racist?

That’s exactly what they are saying bro. Needless to say, I think most of this is BS. My brown skinned minority wife, thinks so too. 😁👍🇵🇭

...there are generally more people of color in the back-of-house—working as dishwashers, prep cooks and in other low-paying roles—while White staff are more likely to be in the front, earning higher wages as servers, bartenders and hosts. We also know that this racial segregation didn’t just happen on its own. There is a system that continually drives this reality...

Yes, because they are far more likely to be raised in homes without fathers. But if you admitted that is a large part of the reason, you couldn't blame racism and you wouldn't be able to make a living as a diversity huckster.

It takes some education and social skills to be a server. One of my favorites restaurants has one rude black server. Acts like she’s doing you s favor. I started waiting longer if necessary to avoid her section. Chip on her shoulder attitude often ruined our meal.
