The contest is one of many that the company sponsors. They are marketing to a specific demographic - as many companies do. It is not indicative of a war on white people.

Yes, it is.

Is there a "Whites only" baking competition? You know bloody well there isn't, and if there was you'd be whining about racism. QED.

Yep ... racist from beginning to end.

There you go…putting facts out there to be ignored. LOL

[Wallace T.]

So Cameron Diaz, of partial Cuban descent, Alicia Siilverstone (Jewish, but where did the Jews originate? The Middle East!), and Marlo Thomas, of Lebanese ancestry, can participate but equally white people named Hansen, Whittaker, or Lombardo cannot? At least they graciously allowed Northeast Asians to participate as many leftists treat them as "dishonorary whites" due to their high success rate in business and academia.

The DEI program is nothing but a Gramscian, Marxist ploy to divide this country. Hopefully, real Americans will no longer buy this flour. BTW, I am not aware that much wheat was grown in Vermont.

A much simpler translation: Anyone but a White person.

KAB sponsers many competitions, so where and when is the “whites Only “ bake off with prizes and mentoring for white business?

[Varda]

“Latinx” really? So this is a white racist company using language already known to be offensive. It’s appropriate for the racist contest.

Maybe your response isn't clear, but it looks like they sponsor all sorts of baking competitions, all/many of which segregate based on color. Seems to me that the entire program is anti-white, not just one of the many competititions?

Or am I wrong and they also host just as many whites-only competitions also? Or to be fair, shouldn't 60% of the competitions be white-only? (Unless, of course, they include 'Hispanics' as white, in which case I mean to say 80%.)
