This *expletive deleted*it is getting beyond stupid.
"Try to be less white" WTF. If they said, try to be less black or brown they'd have a hundred lawsuits and riots before they could take the next breath.

White employees trying to be less white? Won't that lead to cultural appropriation or something?

Flesh colored? How racist!

Don't think they include these in the box anymore

Nothing will turn more white people into actual racists faster than the anti-white racism currently in vogue.

I've long hated their flagship beverage, but what else do they sell? Please don't tell me I can no longer be a Pepper.

So are they still going to use the Polar Bears in their commercials? Maybe switch over to Brown Bears.

I'll probably switch to Diet Mt Dew as preferred caffeine delivery vehicle.

I just bought some Coke as a change of pace last week. This news makes me regret this.

My wife just brought home a few cans of their latest attempt at a coffee soda. I had the Dark Something-or-other flavor, and it was really good.

Oh, well.

Someone at Coke should go to work in blackface and say that HR told them to do it.

Since Coca-Cola are the ones that showed us all what Santa Claus looks like, are they going to make him black now? Or perhaps Turkish?

I think if I had to sit through that pile of excrement I'd file a hostile work environment complaint.
They are targeting people based on race. I'm pretty sure that's supposed to be illegal.
