Does Washington Post Owner Jeff Bezos Discriminate Against Blacks? Bronx borough president Ruben Diaz Jr. tells Amazon to better serve minority areas.

Jeff Bezos owns the Washington Post an important newspaper for the Democrat party. But, Crain's New York reports on Jeff Bezos' Amazon :

Pressure is mounting for Amazon.com Inc. to expand same-day deliveries to predominantly minority neighborhoods in New York and Chicago after a backlash in Boston spurred the online retail giant to offer the service to a largely black community that had been excluded.

Elected officials representing New York City and Chicago have called for state and federal investigations examining how the company determines which neighborhoods are eligible for quick delivery of goods. Amazon said that race plays no role in establishing service boundaries.

The latest salvo came Thursday from Bronx Borough President Ruben Diaz Jr., who sent a letter to Amazon Chief Executive Officer Jeff Bezos urging him to bring same-day delivery to the Bronx—the only New York City borough excluded from it.

“While your company serves four of the five boroughs, my own constituents, largely black and Latino in ethnic makeup, are excluded,” Diaz said in the letter obtained by Bloomberg News. “Such a level of insensitivity, if not hostility, should not be an accepted business practice for the world’s leader in online retail.”
