Try refreshing your browser, or Coke too woke? Employees urged to be less white as part of training Back to video
The training was offered by LinkedIn Education and was called “Confronting Racism.” After a whistleblower released screengrabs of the course to a YouTuber, it was allegedly taken offline.
“In the U.S. and other Western nations, white people are socialized to feel that they are inherently superior because they are white,” reads one of the slides, allegedly sent from the “internal whistleblower” and posted on Twitter by Karlyn Borysenko.
Borysenko said she was sent the screenshots. Another suggested employees should “try to be less white” and “be less oppressive,” “listen,” “believe,” and “break with white solidarity.”

When I first saw this story I was highly skeptical.
However, the training course is available online and Coca Cola is doing its best to try to back down from the course. BREAKING: Coca-Cola is forcing employees to complete online training telling them to “try to be less white.”

In this course, Robin DiAngelo, the best-selling author of White Fragility, gives you the vocabulary and practices you need to start confronting racism and unconscious bias at the individual level and throughout your organization. There’s no magic recipe for building an inclusive workplace. It’s a process that needs to involve people of color, and that needs to go on for as long as your company’s in business.
