Coca Cola Wants Everybody to ''Try to be Less White'
IMO, "sexual harrassment" involves physical contact or actual discrimination. "Sticks and stones . . . ."

Tell that to a woman who's been the victim of persistent unwanted sexual advances from a colleague, or worse, a superior.
The problem is, just like the BS described in the OP, the left has taken legitimate sexual harassment issues and made everything to which a female might conceivably object "sexual harassment."
During my last few years of employment I got out of the habit of complementing women at work when, for example, they tried a new hairstyle and it looked really good, or they were wearing a particularly pleasing scent, or what-have-you.
Still held doors and offered to carry heavy stuff for them, though

Coke isn't new to making big mistakes. Big, costly ones. Think "new Coke". They did have a market leading product. Then came a whole bunch of corporate screw ups. Guess they're still profitable so no one cares. I quit drinking coke a while back, moving to root beer. But I have no idea who makes the stuff I drink. And I take my wife to restaurants, where I really don't get a brand choice. At least if you order Pepsi, you get it.

I got a slightly different email in response to my email to Coke corporate. In yours they blame a 3rd party in mine they kind of take the blame for screwing it up.
Thank you for contacting The Coca-Cola Company,
We appreciate your message. The goal of our diversity training is to help build a better workplace, one that is respectful for all. Recently, we learned that content accessible through our Company training platform did not align with this approach. To be clear, this was not a part of our training curriculum and we immediately removed the links to that content.
We apologize to those who were offended by this content. We would never encourage anyone to be any less of themselves.
As we continue to evolve our training, we know we won’t always get everything right, but we have learned from this experience. In fact, we have taken to heart one very key lesson – the importance of continuing to listen, learn and adapt, as together we work to refresh the world and make a difference.
We will make sure that we are addressing any opportunities for improvement and continue the dialogue to ensure all voices are heard and respected.
Kind Regards, The Coca-Cola Company Consumer Interaction Center, North America

I drink Diet Coke because I like it. I don't give a rip about their personnel guidelines. I am what I am, don't plan to change, and don't work for Coca Cola.

I received about the same response from Coke. I replied,in general, that I was done with there product lines and that I'm VERY proud of my ancestry. Plenty of other product options other than Coke products or there other brands.

Not me, I don’t like the snow. That’s why I live in Florida.
If I don’t like snow, does that make me racist because snow is white?

But not liking "white" these days is enlightened, not racist, you are good.

oops your systemic stuff just took over, should be 'endarkened' or maybe 'dislightened'. It's really hard to keep up with the word-invention and reassignment-of meaning-machine.
