Starbucks (SBUX) is expanding diversity and inclusion efforts that the coffee giant broadened back in October in 2020, which include a big financial commitment to diverse suppliers.

The Seattle-based company aims to achieve Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) representation of at least 30% at all corporate levels, and at least 40% of all retail and manufacturing roles in the U.S. by 2025.

The new plans include Starbucks boosting annual spending with diverse suppliers to $1.5 billion dollars by 2030. It will also launch a second cohort of its mentorship program for U.S. partners, and will reinstate its commitment to link those efforts to executive compensation.

And guilty whites will pay an increase in an already inflated price.

It will make me feel so good to know that my green plastic stopper or paper cup sleeve comes from a minority source.

Expensive, bitter, burnt coffee. At least there isn’t a government mandate to drink it.

Isn’t Starbucks having financial problems and closing stores?

Yeah, this will fix those issues in a jiffy. 🙄

They better be careful. “Diverse suppliers” aren’t always the most honest and reliable.

Bye Bye Starbux.

I’m so sick of all this forced diversity bullshit.

It will speed things up for them.

Will whites ever push back or just go gently into the night.

This will never stop.

[1Old Pro]

Let them do whatever they want. Never been there and never will.

So stupid.

They sure are making it easy not to buy their overpriced swill.

In the last month, I have three accounts from people who told me their granddaughters were embarrassed by the white privilege and escalated to a family shouting match. The goal by the left is to humiliate, punish and then kill whitey.

[Altura Ct.]

Most whites are oblivious.
