最近種族歧視風波可不少,前面 H&M 才因相關問題導致業績下滑、門店被破壞並遭到 KAWS 譴責。現在,就連 Starbucks 也發生「種族歧視」的問題!上週四,美國費城一家 Starbucks,因兩名黑人在店內等朋友沒有消費,店經理上去交涉了解問題後,竟然表示:「你們沒有消費,如果不離開就控告你們非法入侵」,結果還真得轉身後跑去報警,兩人隨後遭上銬帶離現場。
@Starbucks The police were called because these men hadn’t ordered anything. They were waiting for a friend to show up, who did as they were taken out in handcuffs for doing nothing. All the other white ppl are wondering why it’s never happened to us when we do the same thing. pic.twitter.com/0U4Pzs55Ci

影片上傳後,理所當然的受到網友撻伐並號召#拒喝星巴克,不過,Starbucks 也意識到問題嚴重性,CEO Kevin Johnson 隨後也公開對外道歉,並承諾會以盡快做出改善。而目前,Starbucks Twitter 發表,全美國 8,000 家店面將在 5 月 29 日下午暫停營業,目的是為了加強員工訓練及職能培訓,希望在日後避免掉類似問題。其實不只 Starbucks,許多大品牌也有爆出「種族敏感議題」,筆者認為儘管會有所改善,但也要”本人”發自內心認同才有用吧?你如何看待此議題?
On 5/29, we’ll close US company-owned stores to conduct racial-bias training to address implicit bias & prevent discrimination. We’re taking a hard look at who we are as a company. We’re ashamed & recognize that racial bias is a problem we must address. https://t.co/xIYc75BJPj
