No,Starbucks isn't fooling me: Starbucks is hell bent on very specific inclusion and very specific exclusion. Just look at the cups.

Oli...LOL.. u had2 b smokin' something 2 make that analogy...that was awesome, but anyways, the whole thing is just ridiculous.

I rarely go to Starbucks. Their prices are a bit much on the menu.

After this story came out, my co worker and I walked into the local Starbucks and my co worker tells the all Hispanic staff “hey is Starbucks racist against Mexicans?!?! And can we get some free coffees?!”And the confused nerdy Mexican kid behind the counter shook his head saying “no sir not at all” and the rest of the staff had these puzzled looking faces. After we said were just joking they started saying they might have to do some kind of training sensitively about diversity or something like that. Funny but I felt bad, everybody at my local Starbucks is super nice.

This entire incident is rather absurd, the worker felt uncomfortable and called the police, end of story. What if he didnt and the guys shot someone or robbed it.. then what.
If you guys want real racism, aside from being white and walking through a black hood: watch a documentary on Melba Alabama in the mid 1960’s, that was real racism and its actually hard to watch. Segragation finally ended in the late 60’s but it took a while for it to filter out completely. Now, over 50 years later, there is no excuse. The racism card is totally played out.

We'll be back to "real racism" if the right gets their way.

@Belmont

The 2 guys in Starbucks didn't look threatening in the slightest

You either live in a sandbox or are racist your damn self

Trump has emboldened people to act in a racist manner

This guy cracks me up. He also claims that Trump turned America racist. Hoodlum is right. The guy can't get out of his own way.
