Outdoor outfitter The North Face is offering customers a 20% discount if they complete and pass a Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) course.
The company launched the course, titled “Allyship in the Outdoors,” to teach customers about racial disparities in outdoor activities. It is roughly an hour long and is intended for people who work in the outdoor industry. Those who take the course from North America are ineligible for the discount, however.

Or, customers (woke or not) could just shoplift. No DEI course required, 100% discount, and no prosecution.

We want to promote diversity. However, we must exclude North Americans. They are diverse from diversity. Diverse once removed.

Good thing I own not one piece of clothing with the NF logo, although I see others wearing it all the time.
DEI = discrimination, exclusion, incompetence

“There is no explicit policy that excludes people from the outdoors yet there are few people of colour. While there is no intent to exclude, the system in itself creates those barriers to participation,” ???
North Face should change the course name to “Bullship in the Outdoors.”

That loud, booming sound you hear is North Face crashing and burning from loss of business. Even if I was a rock hippie, I wouldn’t submit any DEI form!

Time to cut up my NF jacket and send it back. OTOH, why should I spend the money to send its carcass back to them?
To H***with North Face.

I hope this company just jumped off the North Face into oblivion.
White privilege is whites having to pay 100% of everything in life. Black privilege
is being the recipients. Congrats corporate America, you continue to set back
race relations 100 years.

I would be better to give thw military a discount, or for first responders or teachers or healthcare workers. North Face is now about face to another brand.

If they really believed this garbage, they would simply refuse to sell to us white supremacists, and yet they are happy to take our money. Profiting from "The System", I see!

Too bad, they had some nice stuff but there are lots of choices out there. Most of the other companies are sane and not trying to bully their customers. This will be the death of their brand.

I have several pieces of North Face gear that I have used for 20 years or so, still in good shape and good to go. The company has always been yuppie, but they're far from the worst. I just ignore the current vibe, and do my own thing. It's not worth throwing away perfectly good stuff.

They are just another stylish brand to be displayed by shallow people after paying way too much. Makes them feel oh so trendy to be seen with a North Face logo on. It kind of goes with the man bun.

I don't think I've ever bought anything from North Face. It's for darn sure that if I need outdoor clothing, they won't get my money, unless they change their tune.
Maybe if we "Bud Lite" them, they'll rethink their "Discrimination, exclusion, and incompetence" policy. HT #6

I don't recall seeing any North Face stores in poor Black neighborhoods or places like South Central LA. They are always in affluent White areas. All that minorities need to do to enjoy the great outdoors is just open the door. Not everyone enjoys hiking in the woods, snow, or cold. It's a cultural thing
