Congrats, we're the new Bud Light
Looks like they finally took the DEI nonsense too far. Already talk of boycotts. Comments on Delta's social media feeds sure are ugly today.

Bad news for Delta. Are we about to become the next Bud Light?

Bud Light's typical customer is a very different demographic than Delta's. We fly relatively wealthy people from one major city to another. High-income earners in urban locations (yes, even in the south) are generally more accepting of left-leaning political beliefs. And they are far less likely to follow right-wing fear-mongering twitter feeds or watch Fox News, so odds are most won't see that tweet. And if they do, they might be like me and not care enough to find out if it's even accurate or made up.

I actually found the document on Deltanet. This is a complete misrepresentaion of the guidance.
"communications teams follow the AP standard of lowercasing "white," similar to brown, in formal communications"

But yeah sure the stock down almost 40% in 5 years has recovered and everyone has forgotten lmao.
Delta's key demo is not the anti-cancel culture cancel culture low IQ crowd. Delta has put out BLM pins and sponsored pride parades and they are still a very strong and profitable brand. The dummies on Twitter would love to have fake influence but it'll be old news in a few weeks
