Target's diversity chief says 'white women' should take action against systemic racism and call out 'transgressions' in the post-George Floyd world - as retail giant tanks $12.5B in value amid botched Pride merchandise

Keira Fernandez, Target's chief diversity officer, made the comment earlier this year in the context of Target's changing demographic shifts
Fernandez, who has worked at the retail giant for 22 years, said: 'One of the hardest things in the world to be every day is black'


By Claudia Aoraha, Senior Reporter For Dailymail.Com

Published: 09:03 EDT, 31 May 2023 | Updated: 10:11 EDT, 31 May 2023


Target's chief diversity and inclusion officer has suggested that white women should help tackle systemic racism in the workplace by using their voice more.

Keira Fernandez made the comment earlier this year, encouraging white women to speak up against transgressions 'so the woman of color in the room doesn't always have to.'

She then spoke to a white person on the panel, and made the claim that in certain spaces their voice would 'be heard differently than mine.'

Fernandez said: 'And that is why we're doing this work. That's why it's so important to have this conversation.

'But we also can't ignore the systemic history that got us here and then the things that we have to do differently to remove those barriers. Use your voice.'

Fernandez made the comment earlier this year in the context of Target's changing demographic shifts, and encouraged white women to speak up against transgressions 'so the woman of color in the room doesn't always have to'

Keira Fernandez has been leading Target's Racial Equity Action and Change initiative to accelerate the company's diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts, especially following the death of George Floyd in 2020.

The retail giant promised to increase the amount of black employees they have, as well as spend more than $2billion with black-owned brands by 2025.

Fernandez, who has worked at the company for 22 years, said in a separate interview: 'One of the hardest things to be in the world to be every day is black. One of the hardest things to be in the world every day is a woman.'

Then in a panel discussion, she was asked what the one thing white women could do to help women of color in the workforce.

In the clip, which was posted to Twitter, she said: 'I think the number one thing that I would encourage white women to do is take the [Diversity, equity, and Inclusion] learnings, and use your voice, so the woman of color in the room doesn't always have to be the woman that calls out the transgression.'



The retail giant describes Fernandez as: 'A dedicated diversity advocate who sparks, inspires and challenges the lens in which we view and practice diversity, so we can all grow the circle together with shared accountability and responsibility.'

This comes after Target lost more than $12.5billion in market capitalization in the span of 14 days - as it continues to face backlash for Pride-themed merchandise.

Prior to the controversy - which stems over a LGBTQ-geared clothing campaign that touts 'tuck-friendly' bathing suits and pro-trans T-shirts for kids - Target shares were trading at $160.96, giving the retailer a market valuation of roughly $74.3billion.

By the time The New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) closed Friday, the blue-chip stock was trading at $138.93 - marking a market valuation of 64,2billion, and loss of $10.1billion.

The sum, moreover, stands as the superstore's lowest market value in an entire year - all achieved in a matter of days as customers swear off its products in response.

Meanwhile, Target's share prices continued to plummet for an eighth-straight day Tuesday as the retailer faces its biggest losing streak in five years.

Shares fell 3.66 percent on Tuesday, amid widespread backlash to its Pride display, which included 'tuck-friendly' women's swimwear.

Tuesday's losses put the stock on its longest losing streak since November 2018, according to FOX Business, with shares at a 52-week low of $133.88 — down nearly 15 percent over the month.

Conservatives and moderates alike have been boycotting Target since it was revealed last week that the retailer was selling clothes with LGBTQ-friendly slogans like 'Trans People Will Always Exist!', 'gay', and 'Live Laugh Lesbian.'

I have one about a mile from the house, I never go there, so boycotting it will be easy.

Of course need someone to post up why I should not go to wmart.

It's killing small businesses and they sell the cheaper version of products.

By shopping at smaller stores, one can avoid a lot of the riff raff / trashy people.

99+% of my personal retail discretionary budget is for scotch and beer, auto parts, fuel, Skoal and porm subscriptions, thus very little money left over for those woke fcuks!!

You asked for a reason.
I gave you reasons..... and your response is that you don't spend much there. Not that you're going to stop shopping there even though you now have reasons.

Unsure why you asked for a reason.

I've upped my game. Just got 500 of these decals in the mail yesterday. Went to the grocery store today and put them on all the Butt Light cases on top of the display. I am having fun with this. 500 decals was only like $11 and change. I will easily get my money's worth of amusement out of them.

Unsure why you asked for a reason.

Unsure why you took my obviously comedic response so seriously.

I try not to be too serious on any forum, stays easy that way.
