That cup is racist. The “Starbucks Woman” is white and wearing green - traditional Irish for St. Patrick’s Day. They are excluding all other skin tones.

Its what I love about twitter. They’re pretty hands off about these things and liberals get an endless beating at the hands of their own stupidity.

What is the over/under before Starbucks realizes this is orders of magnitude than the McDonalds Luvin It campaign and throws in the towel? Starbucks is getting blasted by both sides.

I’ve never understood how they do it, but Starbux is a profit powerhouse. Selling a Camry at a Lexus price is pure genius.

I’ll “race” to the nearest Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf and forswear Starbucks.
