Total gaslighting and you fell for it, again.
They zapped the entire project.

Again...

From your linked article...

Three weeks after the leak, Red Bull's corporate leadership in Austria fired Kozak, Taylor, and global head of music, entertainment, and culture marketing Florian Klaas, whose team was said to have chosen the slide. It also dissolved the teams that organize sponsored music festivals and other cultural events. Insiders called the firings acts of retaliation. "We reject racism in every form," Red Bull's board wrote in an all-staff memo.


They zapped all cultural events. Even insiders saw it as retaliation - not as choosing a different approach to advancing a woke corporate culture.

Coke went woke and sales declined 28%
McDonalds went woke and has declining customer traffic.
Listerine came out with multicolored gay pride mouthwash in June and the stock didn't move in the stores.

The corporates thought the vocal minority ruled so they bowed to them.
In reality the consumer rules and proved them wrong.

Red Bull Just Purged High-Level Execs Who Pushed for ‘Diversity and Inclusion’

Red Bull just reminded their ‘wokest’ employees who calls the shots in a total massacre of “social justice warrior” employees.

Not only were the top two North American executives fired, but so were entire marketing teams and “culture” teams that were dedicated to pushing the lie of systemic racism.

Red Bull has just shown the way forward for all who want to prevent a total Marxist-style takeover of business and government in America. There is no appeasing these people, the only way forward is to fire them as quickly as possible, and with no mercy. Err on the side of firing everyone, if need be.


Somebodies woke ~

"Profits first (then we'll talk about your feelings)'

You are confusing correlation and causation. Health trends are a much more likely culprit for Coke’s sales declines. Same with McDonald’s.

Yep. They canceled the events that were planned by the guys who had circulated the racist slides. Tell me how that is being “anti-woke” again.

Of course it had nothing whatsoever to do with "going woke" in advertising and product appearance.
Just coincidence it happened after they initiated woke policies/products.

Just like 11K dying after getting vaccinated doesn't mean the vaccine killed them.

It’s good to know that one of us has studied consumer trends in the Carbonated Soft Drink industry. There are some great case studies from Harvard Business School on the subject if you ever find yourself interested in learning something new.

Nike is like gold to the minorities. And that goes back way before any woke.
I didn't mention Nike because no matter what they do they still sell their sneakers as the majority of that consumer base wants their bling.

I've seen outright brawls in HS hallway because someone stepped on another person's white Nikes.
