  • In October 2019 Snopes readers inquired about a headline published by The LA Post: The NEW Starbucks CEO Has Admitted She Doesn’t Like White People ... . The blog post attached to that headline appears to have recycled a variation of an old claim that we identified as False in November 2018. The new post again took issue with an anecdote that Starbucks executive Rosalind (Roz) Brewer shared in this 2015 CNN interview (transcript below): We rate the newer variation of the claim as False also because nowhere in her account does Brewer mention a dislike of anyone, let alone all white people. It is also worth nothing that the post (again) misidentified Rosalind Brewer as the new CEO of Starbucks, when she is actually the company's Chief Operating Officer (COO) and has been for two years. Kevin Johnson has been Starbucks' CEO since 2017. Before working at Starbucks, Brewer served as president and CEO of Sam's Club, which was her title at the time of the interview in question. Have you seen other variations of this claim? Let us know. (en)
