Campbell Soup exec caught on camera making racist comments
A Campbell Soup executive has been caught on camera making racist comments, sparking outrage and calls for his resignation.
According to a report by NBC News, the executive, who has not been named, was seen on video making derogatory comments about African Americans and other minority groups.
The video, which was reportedly recorded at a private event, shows the executive making a series of inflammatory statements, including calling African Americans "lazy" and "illegitimate."
The comments were reportedly made in the context of a discussion about the company's diversity and inclusion efforts, and were seen as particularly egregious given the executive's position of authority.
"This is a serious matter that requires serious action," said a spokesperson for the NAACP. "We demand that Campbell Soup take immediate action to address this issue and ensure that all employees are treated with dignity and respect."
Campbell Soup has not commented on the matter, but a spokesperson for the company said that they are "looking into the situation" and will take "appropriate action" if necessary.
"We take all allegations of racism and harassment seriously and will conduct a thorough investigation into this matter," the spokesperson said.
Resist the temptation to normalize racist language and behavior, even in the workplace.
Author's note:
The normalization of racist language and behavior is a pervasive problem in our society, and it's up to all of us to speak out against it and demand better from our leaders and institutions. By holding companies like Campbell Soup accountable, we can create a more just and equitable society for everyone.
"Racism is a disease that infects our society, and it's up to all of us to treat it." - NAACP spokesperson
