Have a look at the link Alegrias provided. This never happened !

sounds like YABU to me......check your facts!

Well, you might be justified if they had ever said that or implied it. But since they didn't, it seems a bit like jumping to conclusions to me.

Coca Cola has over 500 brands. Will you boycott them all?

What do you mean about training videos? What's the real issue here please? Can we see them somewhere? Who are they aimed at exactly?

Sorry I don’t agree Pammie1 even though I am unclear what is meant by “be less white” and I wouldn’t personally drink their products. I just can’t see how it can be reverse racism.

There are plenty of reasons to boycott Coca Cola, some cited already, though on the grounds of some attempt at racial awareness raising in some training videos ? I would'nt say so.

I wouldn't touch it with a bargepole anyway. It's vile and quite unnecessary. I tried cleaning the toilet with it and it didn't even do that...

I can't begin to imagine what message 'be less white' is meant to convey

Reasonable to boycott them on the grounds of selling sugary stuff bad for your health. Bu t not on the grounds you cite.

Can you explain the use of this term in their videos? I don't understand what it actually means. Do you have a link or some more details?

Short and sweet. Expecting to get flamed quite a lot. Coca Cola has incorporated ‘be less white’ into their training videos. I find it really offensive and tantamount to reverse racism. AIBU to boycott Coke products from now on ?
