‘Un-American Express’: Anti-Woke Group Takes Aim at Credit Card Company’s Race-Based Hiring
Color Us United, the nonprofit best known for exposing the woke policies of the Salvation Army, has launched a campaign urging American Express to abandon its woke policies, including its race-based hiring quotas. The group’s president, Kenny Xu, argued that American Express should rebrand itself to “UnAmerican” Express, stating, “How can a company like American Express claim the ‘American’ part of its name if it consistently drives policies that are incredibly un-American—like promoting the idea that ‘capitalism is racist’ and offering bonuses for people to hire by race? Our choice to brand the company Un-American Express is designed to be a wake-up call to the company: Most Americans oppose politics and divisive worldviews in the workplace.”
