CEO is an idiot, but headline is astoundingly misleading. This is what she actually said:

quote:

“My executive team is very diverse, and I make that a priority,” she told Harlow. “I demand it of my team and within the structure. And then, every now and then, you have to nudge your partners, and you have to speak up and speak out. And I try to use my platform for that. … I try to set an example. I try to mentor many women inside my company and outside the company because I think it’s important.

“And I talk to my suppliers about it. Just today we met with a supplier, and the entire other side of the table was all Caucasian males. That was interesting. I decided not to talk about it directly with [the supplier’s] folks in the room because there were actually no females, like, levels down. So I’m going to place a call to him.”

I can't wait to see her surprise when she eats at a sushi restaurant.

His response:

"You know, Starbucks isn't the only company we do business with, nor is it our top customer. You would be wise to remember that when attempting to lecture me about who I do and do not hire..."
