As it stands today, the lack of diversity in law firms may have more to do with self-selection than discrimination of any kind. In 2019, 34% of working attorneys were women, 4.6% were black, 2.9% were Asian, and 3.8% were Hispanic. These percentages are all much lower than the percentage of the population these groups make up.

Representation in law schools is not much better. In the same year, students at ABA-accredited law schools were 7.94% black, 12.7% Hispanic, and 6.36% Asian. A limited number of firms will be able to meet Coke’s metrics since minority lawyers may enter fields that are not corporate affiliated practices. Eventually, Coke may have more difficulty obtaining legal services as law firms struggle to meet their requirements.

Yet, neither of these woke moves kept Coca-Cola from being the subject of protests. On Saturday, #BoycottCoke was trending on Twitter. Some participants were suggesting boycotting all other brands that serve Coke products. The company’s sin was donating to politicians in Georgia who co-sponsored election security laws currently in the state legislature. This legislation aims to roll back temporary voting procedures approved during the pandemic and ensure there would not be outside funding of county election offices in the future.

If you are less of one thing, you have to be more of another.

What do they want people to be more of? Do they say?

If the law firms have to hire less qualified lawyers to meet the diversity requirements, Coke will get less than stellar legal advice.

Schadenfreude.

The left is never satisfied. What they need is a spanking. Patriot style.

“require quarterly reporting about the makeup of legal teams that do work for it and self identify as American Indian, Alaska Native, Asian, Black, women, Hispanic/Latinx, LGBTQ+, Native Hawaiian, Pacific Islander or persons with disabilities.”

What a bastardly bunch we are. Counting types of people.

Of course, the key here is “self-identify”.

In this already insane world, one can merely “self-ID” as a preferred group, and thus satisfy this pathetic self-conscious requirement.

I have bought my last Coca-Cola product ever. Nobody calls me arrogant and apathetic and then gets my hard-earned money.

A 34% surcharge from the legal representation should make everyone happy.

Coca Cola was way too liberal back in the 60s.

Brands go woke because they’re going broke!

Frontpage ^ | Mar 2021 | Daniel Greenfield
Posted on 3/3/2021, 5:10:13 AM by xzins

“Get woke, go broke”, is a conservative meme about the cost of political correctness that has it the wrong way around. Brands don’t go broke because they get woke, they go woke because they’re going broke, and don’t know how to stop the slow but steady collapse of their business.
