I mean it would not be surprising I guess, given the company's values. But goes to show, that none of us are immune to a good ol' fashion witch hunt... I mean literally any of us could fall victim, regardless of our "reputation"... doesn't mean much on Twitter or to the mainstream media.

To be fair SJWs often seem passively racist, with bigotry of low expectations. Two pieces of rhetoric I've seen is "voter ID is racist because POC can't afford to buy a drivers license" and "suggesting a nice day in the park is white privilege because POC can't afford to travel" ....

I think a passkey for all starbucks shop toilets would be more rewarding for these 2 cheapskates.

I mean, even "refusing to leave" can't be taken literally without having all of the facts. It could have easily been a case of these men wanting to know why they were being treated that way before they just up and left the place, purely trying to protest their innocence which isn't moronic or displaying a "bad attitude" but actually completely normal. But then, perhaps they did physically refuse to leave. But we don't know the details.

Either way, I think people are moving away from the real issue and probably the reason why this thread was created, and the story has become so popular... which is racial bias. It exists and is a big thing. The employee called the police because she didn't want these men in the shop. There's no point saying, essentially, that 'they probably deserved it'. There's no point bringing up the fact that they refused to leave the shop when the police asked them to. Because we don't know the nature of the arrest. What we do know is that there was some racial bias involved here and, fair enough if you don't believe it's an issue but I don't think it's worth denying that it didn't happen.

How do we know that? The video doesn't show racial bias, and that's the only first hand source we have. I'm not saying there isn't likely to have been racial bias, or that we shouldn't suspect racial bias, but we definitely don't "know" that there was racial bias...

[Twosugars]

of course there is a race bias
In some ways they were lucky, was it a drive-thru and they were in a car, they police would probably shoot them dead first and ask the questions later

I'm sure there's another section of the police force designed and paid to deal with that.

You know, because they don't have anything better to do?

They sound like they have a good attitude to the whole scenario actually, wanting to be involved with helping to change mindsets rather than encouraging people to boycott
