Clothing brand The North Face offers customers 20% off – but only if they complete "racial inclusion" course

WOKE bosses at clothes brand The North Face are offering customers a 20 per cent discount — but only if they complete a “racial inclusion” course.

The outdoors goods retailer launched the online programme last month for a “more equitable” countryside...

To get the voucher, participants must correctly answer a multiple-choice quiz at the end of all four modules, including subjects such as “white privilege”.

But Free Speech Union founder Toby Young said: “The irony is that The North Face is implicitly acknowledging here that all its customers are white.

“After all, why would black customers need to take a course about ‘white privilege’ to get a 20 per cent discount? But if all customers are white, shouldn’t it be examining the beam in its own eye?”

The US firm says the Allyship in the Outdoors programme helps customers to “build awareness and knowledge of people of colour in the outdoors” and “understand barriers and challenges by listening to lived experiences”.
