Current Events > This was the RACIST PICTURE at a RED BULL Presentation that got 3 people FIRED!!

(+) Yeah! (+)

Dailymail has obtained the shocking photos from a "racist" slide show made by a senior RED BULL executive who sparked anger among american employees and resulted in the firing of 3 top executives, 2 of whom were "complainers" of the company!!

Stefan Kozak, CEO of NA for the Austria based company and Amy Taylor, the NA president and chief marketing officer were let go from the energy drink company because they spoke out against the company's lack of response to the BLM protests!!

Kozak and Taylor lobbied in weeks for more diversity in the company and were blamed for the leak of the letter signed by 300 employees and criticized the company's silence on Black Lives Matter

Red Bull employees were frustrated by the brand's lack of positive action in light of the movement and blamed it on the Austrian head office who regarded it as "local issues"

Florian Klaass, the global head of music, entertainment and culture marketing was also fired as all 3 were told they were losing their jobs..and he was the one RESPONSIBLE for the RACIST MAP!!

Klaass was under fire since February cause of his presentation in Detroit to 100 employees discussing global outreach as he included a slide in his presentation despite being warned not to do it by US colleagues

When employees complained to HR, which were of european background they were just told they were "overly emotional"

Amy, a 20 year veteran was working there for some time trying to diverse the company and is an outspoken gay rights activist who was commended in trying to make their company more open and wanted them to speak out on racism but the leaders were not "intersted"

She wrote a letter stating they draw heavily on various aspects of black culture including hip hop, breakdancing and basketball and to not say anything means they are abandoning those communities

Kozak wrote that he share those views and applaud the letter by his co=worker

Then came the axe for the employees as Carly Loder, the head of communications stated Red Bull's billionaire CEO Dietrich Mateschitz is a DONALD TRUMP ADMIRER and has spoken out against "political correctness

The 76 y/o owns a media firm that gives a platform for far-right activists in Austria and loathes the "unemployed" and "social justice warriors"

Red Bull has not spoken on the senior US shake up and gave a standard "We reject racism in every form, we always have and we always will"

Do you think America is #1?

i laughed at the picture. but that is bad taste to display that at that meeting

It's hard to tell if the picture is racist without being able to read all of the captions clearly. It's obviously being facetious in the "We're number one!!" with double punctuation and the "more America" caption for Alaska. Canada being listed as "uninhabited" made me laugh.

Thank God all the people fired were white

CEO sounds like another racist trumper

I just see a normal map with the appropriate ranking for the USA

Fair next.

I don't think they made that pic though... I'm pretty sure I've seen it posted around some years ago.

Huge overreaction, imo.

labeling the entire middle east as evil-doers and adding "bombs go here" might have something to do with it.

"zoo animals come from here" for Africa doesn't help.

Hilarious, but probably not the time and place lol.

Are you telling me this was made by actual professionals and not 8 year olds?

I'll admit, the label for Canada made me crack a small smile.
