Will Yelp flag itself as being racist?

[Counselor706]

Yelp, a website and an app where users rate businesses, will now flag businesses that have been accused of "overt" racism. Yelp announced on Thursday a new alert that will warn users when "someone associated with this business was accused of racist behavior."

"As the nation reckons with issues of systemic racism, we've seen in the last few months that there is a clear need to warn consumers about businesses associated with egregious, racially-charged actions to help people make more informed spending decisions," Yelp said on the company's blog. "Now, when a business gains public attention for reports of racist conduct, such as using racist language or symbols, Yelp will place a new Business Accused of Racist Behavior Alert on their Yelp page to inform users, along with a link to a news article where they can learn more about the incident."

Several commentators responded to Yelp's announcement by sharing a 2019 Business Insider article titled, "At Yelp's Phoenix office, some insiders say a 'boy's club' atmosphere fueled racism, sexism, and a hard-partying culture — on top of regular verbal abuse from customers."

Business Insider said they spoke to nine current and former Yelp employees who worked at the company's office in Phoenix. The current and ex-employees claimed they experienced "racist comments, inappropriate conduct, bacchanalian parties, a clique-y atmosphere, failures of trust in management, and drug use in the office."

Quite a few, from Proctor and Gamble to Ben and Jerry's and Starbucks....

All woke racist.

Locally they are easily ID"d by the "black lives matter" (please don't burn me down) signs.

Yelp and every other racist, misogynistic, homophobic, business should be on notice that their bullshit won't be tolerated anymore.

If Yelp is taking this action, it suggests that they got the message. By expanding their internal change in culture to the service they provide, it puts other businesses on notice that their racist, misogynistic, homophobic bullshit won't be tolerated.

I love that you seem to think this has anything to do with ACTUAL racism, misogyny or homophobia. All things intersectional/critical race theorist lefties who call themselves "progressive" support and believe in.

The fact that you don't realize it confirms your role in all this.
