"Just today we met with a supplier and the entire other side of the table was all Caucasian males. That was interesting," Brewer said. "I decided not to talk about it directly with [the supplier's] folks in the room because there were actually no female, like, levels down. So I’m going to place a call to him.""
Shouldn't the only qualification be: Who is best qualified to do a job?
Plus what business/right is it of a CEO of company A to want to control company B's policy, no matter what the policy/matter is? Don't like something about company B? Great, don't do business with them. Period.

Not anymore. It's what is socially PC correct today.
Male/female, White/Black/Hispanic. I wonder if she thought about who was LBGT while she was at it ?

What if said supplier is based in a predominantly white area (like more so than usual, like Minnesota or Maine)? Is it still a problem when those you're hiring who live locally are overwhelmingly white demographically? Should you move your company to somewhere more diverse? Where does it end?
That's uncalled for... (I don't like BLM either because their protesting in the wrong places but no need to jump to unnecessary conclusions)
I don't think she made a racist comment at all, but was trying to stress diversity, If she made the same about blacks in a large company I would fully support her, unless of course she was talking about a small company from a predominantly white region then of course no. Same with any other race or ethnicity.

but even as a minority, this is ridiculous, If a black barbershop opens are we going to start calling these guys racist if all they hire are black barbers or mostly black barbers. If Sam' Club which is a branch of Walmart that is based in NW Arkansas which is probably the whitest U.S metro over 500,000 has all caucasians I honestly don't think that is at all racist.
*I need to reread the story might have gotten who is calling who a racist wrong.
You mean like the majority of major metros in America? A white person can't get a civil service job to save their lives in those areas. What she is expecting is ridiculous and shows her racist tendencies towards whites.

Where does it end?
