Summary of the article: conservatives hate non-whites and Coca Cola doesn't hate Latinos, therefore they are racist.

I'm confident that your reading comprehension skills are better than that.
With their Cap’n and Chief Intelligence Officer having deserted them, River, Ham and Joe valiantly continue their whataboutismistic last stand of the DJT apology tour.

The article is saying that Coca Cola is marketing to Latinos because Latinos have poorer health habits and so they are Coke's target audience. This is one of those predetermined conclusions - Coke just can't win. If they don't market to Latinos, then they are racist for only targeting white people. If they do market to Latinos, it's because they want them to drink poison and die faster. There's no right answer.

Well that differs from your first post in that it is a fair critique of the article.
