: Internal data & interviews w/ diversity employees indicate Black Amazon employees are promoted less often & rated harsher than non-Black peers. Amazon disputed the data in the piece but wouldn't provide alternative info. : “Earns Trust” is an absolute disaster and always has been. Catch-all for “we just don't really like you” and if it was used against me I can only imagine how it impacts folks already so disadvantaged, but I literally never worked with any Black colleague consistently in 4.5 years : Amazon's race problem: Black staffers promoted less frequently, rated more harshly, reports Oh, and a white male manager told a Black female employee, unprompted, that his ancestors “owned slaves but I'm pretty sure they were good to their slaves.”

People also consistently rate lemons as more sour than oranges. Is it citrus bias, or just reality?

Exactly, maybe on average they are not as smart and productive as other groups. But of course they cannot bring themselves to that kind of thought crime and heresy.....heaven fucking forbid.
