Can I Get Mine Half-Decaf, No Foam, No Lecture?

All you really need to know is that Starbucks' #RaceTogether plan, which had baristas randomly engaging customers in discussions about race and racism, was universally derided. Like here and here and all over social media and on every site, by liberals and conservatives alike, by people of all races everywhere, many of whom noted the irony of a mostly white-run company lecturing the world on race, and most of whom said they want their lattes with a minimum of engagement of any kind with the barista. Maybe this was Starbucks' plan: If everyone unites on common ground like hating Starbucks' foray into controversy, we can all come together. (BBC; Jezebel; Gawker)
