This zany idea of Starbucks wanting their employees to talk about race relations is, well, zany, and not going to end well.
If you happen to be in a Starbucks, my first question is; "Why?" I don't "do" Starbucks because the coffee is overpriced, not very good, and I can never remember the difference between a grande and a venti. Our local grocery stores have coffee every bit as good for a quarter of the price and if you want something sweet, the donuts are a steal. Besides, being a simple soul, I can handle, "Do you want a 12oz or a 16oz?"
Let's assume you're a Starbucks' lover. That's okay. Last I checked it was still somewhat of a free country and I won't publicly shame you. Your barista wants to talk about race with you. Ask them their opinion about the following - presented without comment.
