I see a lot of alignment in your threads and comments with the things I care about, so please hear this feedback as coming from someone siding with you.
You may want to start using phrases like "darker complexions" instead of "coloured skin," the latter phrase referencing an outdated term of "coloreds" or "colored people" for what we now would call "people of color."
...but the attorneys general did suggest that Target might find it "more profitable to sell the type of Pride that enshrines the love of the United States."
… wait until they insist on selling the “Murica, Fuck Yeah” flag-printed ammunition next to the toy section. The casings being anodized in waving flags with an eagle.
They’re absolutely ignoring the fact that you can walk into any retailer and buy flag plastered merch all year round, but most of them only sell “Hey, maybe other people deserve to exist too?” stuff from June 1st to June 29th.
“However, Target management does have fiduciary duties to its shareholders to prudently manage the company and act loyally in the company’s best interests.”
Not sure how reaching out to more groups to sell more products and generate more profit amongst those groups previously left out of the equation is not in the company’s best interest.
They’re implying there are more hateful bigots in the US and that Target would lose more money by them not shopping there due to Pride merch than they’d make by selling it.
Which is probably not true for Target’s clientele, but my local Walmart definitely didn’t have any rainbow stuff for sale this year.
