McDonald’s added that it “expects to increase representation of historically underrepresented groups in leadership roles (Senior Director and above) located in the U.S. to 35 percent” and “to increase representation of women in leadership roles globally (Senior Director and above) to 45 percent” by the year 2025.

The release repeats sentiments that were included in a training held by Coca-Cola, according to photos released by a whistleblower last week, that calls on workers to “be less white.” The training was laden with critical race theory-inspired terminology. “Be less oppressive, be less arrogant, be less certain, be less defensive, be less ignorant, be more humble, listen, believe, break with apathy, break with white solidarity” are listed as ways to become “less white,” according to the training slides.
