I wrote a letter to Starbucks when I found that they are corporate sponsor of NCLR. This is the response I received in the mail yesterday:

Dear Ms. Shelton,
Thank you for taking the time to contact Starbucks Coffee Company.
I was very concerned to hear about your feedback. To address the situation directly I have shared your comments with the appropriate departments. I can assure you that Starbucks does not endorse or promote discriminatory behavior.
Starbucks is guided by a set of six principles outlined in the company's Mission Statement. One of these principles states that we are to "embrace diversity as an essential component in the way we do business." Each partner (employee) participates in orientation classes that serve to reinforce all of our guiding principles, but special emphasis is put on the need to treat everyone with respect and dignity.
I hope this letter adequately demontrates Starbucks aim as a company. If you have any further questions or concerns, please contact us at info@starbucks.com or call (800) 23- LATTE.

Sincerely,
Kelly E.
Customer Relations
Starbucks Coffee Company

Obviously they totally avoided the focus of my letter to them about supporting National Council of La Raza. I pointed out that they are donating thousands to a racist organization. That was the entire point of my letter.....does it sound as though she addressed that? Did I miss something?
