Coca Cola Diversity Training Rumor


Listen Later

Some Utahns are looking nervously at their diet cokes… wondering if they’re supposed to boycott the bubbly brown liquid that keeps them going.
What’s GOT them going is a social media rumor… that claims Coca Cola is instructing employees to “try and be less white”  
It’s all because of a screenshot… is supposedly from Coca Cola Diversity training.  But Coca Cola sayhs… wait a minute.  That’s not us.  What you’re seeing online is not from our diversity training.
The “try and be less white” lesson comes from a Linked-In video posted by the company that run Coke’s diversity progra  That video explains that “try to be less white” means to be less arrogant… less defensive…  more humble.   
No matter how offensive you think”try to be less white” might be  …  Coke says… the offending slide making the rounds  is *not* a part of the company’s diversity curriculum.   
But if your in Coke's online diversity training… there are links you can click for more information … and you can end up making your way to that “try to be less white” screen.  But  Coca Cola employees are not “required” to “try and be less white.” 
So is it okay to slurp a Diet Coke?  
Having done my research, I would.  Except I hate diet soda.
