Billionaire investor Warren Buffett made an analogy about business on Monday that was not great.。
In an interview about Kraft Heinz's proposed — and rejected — acquisition of the consumer goods company Unilever, Buffett turned to a misogynist tale as old as time. 。
"It reminds me of that old story about the difference between a diplomat and a lady. I don't know whether you've ever heard that or not," the Berkshire Hathaway executive asked CNBC's Becky Quick. 。 Business Insider 。 Business Insider 。
spotted the problematic comment. 。

And if she says maybe, she means yes. And if she says yes, she's no lady. So he [Kraft Heinz chairman Alex Behring] probably got a maybe [from Unilever] and didn't know whether it was coming from a diplomat or a lady, essentially."。

As billionaires go, Buffett has been a pretty progressive one. He is a committed Democrat and just this weekend seemed to subtly criticize President Donald Trump in a letter to Berkshire Hathaway shareholders. 。
