   Coca-Cola raised some eyebrows this week for promoting an online   
   training seminar that urged employees to “try to be less white”   
   in order to combat racial discrimination.   
      
   Slides from the training seminar shared online this week   
   featured tips on how to tone down whiteness.   
      
   White people in the United States and other western nations, are   
   “socialized to feel that they are inherently superior because   
   they are white,” another slide reads.   
      
   It continued: “Research shows that by age 3 to 4, children   
   understand that it is better to be white.”   
      
   The seminar has predictably provide divisive, with some praising   
   the company and others threatening to boycott it.   
      
   Attorney and Center for American Liberty founder Harmeet   
   Dhillon, who shared the slides on her Twitter, said the slides   
   seemed “like blatant racial discrimination.”   
      
   In a letter to Fox Business, the soft drink giant said the   
   slides being attributed to a Coca-Cola training program “are not   
   part of the company’s learning curriculum.”   
      
   “Our Better Together global training is part of a learning plan   
   to help build an inclusive workplace. It is comprised of a   
   number of short vignettes, each a few minutes long," the company   
   said.   
      
   It noted that the training is publicly available on LinkedIn,   
   and includes a "variety of topics, including on diversity,   
   equity and inclusion.   
      
   "We will continue to listen to our employees and refine our   
   learning programs as appropriate," the company said.
