ATLANTA, GA—To fight white supremacy, Coca-Cola has discontinued its controversial product Vanilla Coke, saying it is “too white” and must be dismantled as part of the company’s continued emphasis on eliminating whiteness from society.
All varieties of Vanilla Coke, from Cherry Vanilla and Orange Vanilla to Vanilla Vanilla, will be pulled from shelves as part of Coca-Cola’s push to lessen whiteness.
“We now recognize that our Vanilla Coke product perpetuates whiteness in a racist, problematic society and harms our efforts to make people less white,” said a Coca-Cola executive Friday. “Anything with even a hint of whiteness must be eliminated. We now realize that we were, in fact, part of the problem all along as we promoted the alt right-adjacent flavor of ‘vanilla.'”
“We will do better,” he said before resigning, canceling and doxing himself, and banishing himself to a remote island in the Caribbean to think about his whiteness.
Go here to read the rest. The new anti-racism is the old racism with a color shift.
I wonder if being from Detroit helps. Hope so.
Disney?
Muppets first….Snow White next.
Snow Golden…or Snow Bronze?
A banning of all white appliances should be made law.
How insensitive!
There’s only one place on earth where human beings were lucky enough to have a temperate climate, an inland sea, vast trade and exchange of ideas, a belief in the One True God, a Creator and a Rational Universe to be discovered.
Western Europe.
(Side note, human beings in moderate sunlight have lighter skin.)

I love Diet Coke, but think I will give soft drinks a pass for the time being.
I read some ridiculous articles somewhere – perhaps this is damage control by Coca Cola for donating to a Republican Senators campaign in 2020. Because said Senator couldn’t pronounce Kamala Harris name properly…cause did you know mispronunciations of names are now racist?
Given how easily I get sunburned in the summer, I couldn’t be less white no matter how hard I tried.
Funny read. But in all seriousness Coca Cola actually sponsored a Thai TV show that glorified rape. The female protagonist was chained up and raped on TV.
