Is there a list of companies who've made similar apologies in the past? When presented with a choice I would prefer to avoid them.

probably close to 100% of them. It will be difficult to organize a boycott.

The next best thing is to rank them by order of who knelt the fastest to China.

Sad to see Intel and others be so spineless.

Should we demand that companies avoid California suppliers as well because of the extensive use of prison labor:

Sad to see this - injustice and oppression must be fought against regardless of economic consequence

>Intel joined other prominent U.S. companies Monday pledging to do more to address systemic racism in the wake of the killing of an African-American man, George Floyd, by a police officer in Minneapolis.

>“Black lives matter. Period,” CEO Bob Swan wrote in a memo to employees Monday, embracing the rallying cry of contemporary civil rights activists. “While racism can look very different around the world, one thing that does not look different is that racism of any kind will not be tolerated here at Intel or in our communities.”
