A woman has filed a class action lawsuit against Amazon that alleges the company has engaged in racial discrimination by launching a grant program that excludes whites and Asians.
The lawsuit, obtained by the Washington Free Beacon, specifically highlights a program that gives a $10,000 stipend to “Black, Latinx, and Native American entrepreneurs” who want to launch delivery startups.
The lawsuit alleges that the program constitutes “patently unlawful racial discrimination.” The program, which Amazon calls a “Diversity Grant,” is not available to white or Asian applicants. Instead, both white and Asian applicants are excluded on the basis of their race.
The lawsuit reads:
This means that businesses owned by blacks, Latinos, or Native Americans receive a $10,000 stipend from Amazon to become delivery service partners, while whites and Asian Americans who wish to become delivery service partners receive no such stipend and must foot the entire bill for their startup costs.

It seems that such actions, while they might not necessarily be deleterious, are likely to bring their own reward.
The only time superficial characteristics are a good basis to hire people is when those characteristics are all that is needed to carry the day.
