“Creating a culture of belonging, inclusion and diversity is one of the core values of Starbucks"
i think that says it all
btw, another favorite of the "christmas is under attack" club is the evil of the word "Xmas"
from wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xmas
"The word "Christ" and its compounds, including "Christmas", have been abbreviated in English for at least the past 1,000 years, long before the modern "Xmas" was commonly used. "Christ" was often written as "Xρ" or "Xt"; there are references in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle as far back as 1021. This X and P arose as the uppercase forms of the Greek letters χ (Ch) and ρ (R) used in ancient abbreviations for Χριστος (Greek for "Christ"),[2] and are still widely seen in many Eastern Orthodox icons depicting Jesus Christ. The labarum, an amalgamation of the two Greek letters rendered as ☧,[note 1] is a symbol often used to represent Christ in Catholic, Protestant, and Orthodox Christian Churches.[19]
Other proper names containing the name "Christ" besides those mentioned above are sometimes abbreviated similarly, either as "X" or "Xt", both of which have been used historically,[23] e.g., "Xtopher" or "Xopher" for "Christopher", or "Xtina" or "Xina" for the name "Christina".
In the 17th and 18th centuries, "Xene" and "Exene" were common spellings for the given name Christine."
i remember bill o'reilly as a guest on letterman saying "youre not allowed to say christmas on t.v. anymore" and i thought: letterman should quip back with: "no Bill, its c*cks*cker" youre not allowed to say on T.V., christmas is still OK"
People are complicated.
