Washington (CNN) Former Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz, who is considering running for president in 2020, said on Tuesday that he grew up in the projects and doesn't see color. "As somebody who grew up in a very diverse background as a young boy in the projects, I didn't see color as a young boy and I honestly don't see color now," Schultz said at a CNN town hall moderated by Poppy Harlow. Schultz was responding to a question from the audience about a racial profiling incident that occurred at a Starbucks location in Philadelphia in April 2018. Two black men were arrested while waiting for a friend in the store after the store manager called the police on them. Schultz announced in January that he was seriously thinking of running for president as a centrist independent.
