\n Photos surfaced on Thursday of the racist slide shown at an internal Red Bull meeting that sparked the firing of three top executives earlier this week.<\/p>\n

The slide shows a distorted map from the viewpoint of an ignorant US consumer. \u201cAmerica!!! We\u2019re #1!!!\u201d is emblazoned across the United States, while an arrow pointing to the Caribbean says \u201ccruise ships go here.\u201d Canada to the north is labeled \u201cUninhabited.\u201d Mexico and South America are marked \u201ccoffee comes from here I think.\u201d<\/p>\n

Across the Atlantic, Europe is labeled \u201cp\u2014ies\u201d and Africa is marked \u201czoo animals come from here.\u201d Farther east, the Middle East is labeled \u201cevil doers\u201d with an arrow pointing to the region saying \u201cbombs go here.\u201d\u00a0 Russia is \u201cCommunists,\u201d while China was labeled \u201cthey make our stuff.\u201d Japan has an arrow pointing to it, saying: \u201cTVs and cameras.\u201d<\/p>\n

Australia was labeled \u201ckangaroos\u201d and Antartica was \u201ccold.\u201d\u00a0 An oblong landmass that could be Greenland or the Arctic Circle is labeled \u201cSanta!\u201d<\/p>\n

Employees complained to Red Bull\u2019s human resources about the map, but nothing came of it, according to earlier reports. The leaked slide comes after more than 300 Red Bull staffers signed a June 1 letter to company leaders to protest what they called the brand\u2019s \u201cpublic silence\u201d regarding the Black Lives Matter movement.<\/p>\n

But two executives blamed internally for the leak of the June 1\u00a0 letter were let go, the company has confirmed, including Stefan Kozak, chief executive of North America for the Austria-based company, and Amy Taylor, North America president and chief marketing officer. Both had lobbied in recent weeks for more diversity.<\/p>\n

Florian Klaass, the company\u2019s head of global culture and marketing who was responsible for the offensive slide, was also fired.<\/p>\n

All three were told they were losing their jobs on Monday,\u00a0Business Insider reported. Klaass, who presented the controversial slide at a meeting of Red Bull\u2019s US culture marketing team in Detroit in February, had been warned not to do it by US colleagues.<\/p>\n

In a statement provided to The Post on Thursday, Red Bull suggested that Klaass\u2019 job was eliminated because it is refocusing its culture activities including \u201cdiscontinuing\u201d many them.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe reject racism in every form, we always have, and we always will,\u201d the board said in a statement. \u201cRed Bull has always put people and their dreams and accomplishments at its core and values the contribution of each and every person \u2013 no matter who they are. We want everyone who feels this way to be welcome in Red Bull.\u201d\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
