The simple fact that individuals automatically assume that this occurrence occurred as a result

of the racial group of the involved parties is an example of unconscious prejudice. We seem to
assume that every occurrence involving minorities, or just people from various ethnicities, and
a white person must be the result of prejudices. That concept in itself is a bias. That belief is, by
definition, a prejudice. I'm not sure if this event had anything to do with racial bias, but I'm
convinced that most are not sure either. There are many that believe it, and some political
narratives encourage others to rely on that assumption inherently. However, it is not founded
on any specific evidence other than the races involved. Have we investigated how many
individuals are dismissed from Starbucks, or other establishments, or have the police involved
when they are unwilling to leave? If we only look at Starbucks, there have been a number of
situations that have gained notoriety. In perspective, it appears that deploying police on those
who don't follow the regulations is a rather typical procedure for Starbucks. They've also
booted white individuals of all ages, even some purchasing beverages and others who weren't,
just because they didn't agree with the person's sentiments or because the person wasn't there
merely as a paying client. In the instance of the observed occurrence, I have yet to see any
concrete indication that it was a result of their skin color, as it happens to individuals of all
races, which include Caucasians.
Relative to the training, I wouldn't say it makes a significant difference in terms of racial
discrimination. However, you must acknowledge Starbucks. It made an effort. It cost the
corporation millions of dollars, but they took action. Congratulations to everyone who
contributed to the decision. If I were in leadership within Starbucks, I would want to see the
entire extent of the cultural curriculum.  This constructivist approach should include the
academic, recreational, and situated interaction components. It must demonstrate the
importance of action in genuine behavior change.  Alternatively, Starbucks' in-and-out learning
experience is almost certain to be forgotten.
