    I always wondered why Chris takes such a beating here and keeps coming back for more, now it all makes sense.

    They could just get rid of the code on the restroom door if it's not just for customers.

    or they could enforce the rules consistently and equally.... but the guys in Philly should have left and by confronting the police over it they were almost literally asking to be arrested. It's like they wanted to be Starbucks martyrs. There's real racism in much more meaningful places in America. This is just a dumb distraction and shouldn't be a rallying cause IMO.

    I've seen people(claiming to be white) on other forums claiming it has also happened to them. It's going to continue to happen (not just to black people) if they have a person controlling who gets to enter. Women especially pretty women will get greater access. Old people might get some favoritism. After this the pendulum might swing in favor of black people to get greater access. I mean they are giving out free coffee for being black. As long as someone is controlling the code some demo will get treated worse even if it's a slight difference. Also every time a black person asks and gets denied you'll get a huge scene going forward.

    The unconscious-bias industry is a font of bad ideas. It diminishes personal responsibility, renders well-meaning, guilt-stricken Americans vulnerable to baseless ideological re-education, and empowers a corporate and academic elite that is by this point inexcusably rebuking Americans for made-up sins.
    The correlation between implicit bias and discriminatory behavior appears weaker than previously thought. They also conclude that there is very little evidence that changes in implicit bias have anything to do with changes in a person’s behavior. These findings, they write, “produce a challenge for this area of research.”
    “Everyone agrees that the statistical effect linking bias to behavior is slight. They only disagree about how slight.”
    A pile of scholarly work, some of it published in top psychology journals and most of it ignored by the media, suggests that the IAT falls far short of the quality-control standards normally expected of psychological instruments. The IAT, this research suggests, is a noisy, unreliable measure that correlates far too weakly with any real-world outcomes to be used to predict individuals’ behavior — even the test’s creators have now admitted as such.

    Just quotes relevant to the ineffective brainwash session Starbucks will be giving their employees. Read the article to get a complete picture.

    .Starbucks is a private company, and as such it has a right to make this mistake. It can shutter its stores for a day and re-educate its employees. But to the extent it’s teaching them about unconscious bias, it’s teaching nonsense, and when it comes to the fraught issue of American race relations, nonsense always inflicts a measure of harm.
    Here is another from the article. Starbucks is a show.

    Disney is evil and subliminally perverting our children. I hope you don't watch that garbage.

    But this is subliminally perverting our children:
