> I’m sure it’s a coincidence that every one of them is a person of color, a woman, or both. Right?

This part of the article jumped at me -- If this is true, then I'd have to say "yes, coincidence". No company (let alone one as large as Amazon) would be that stupid in 2020.



It may not be a coincidence, but in a different way.

It's possible that they spoke up because they thought that 'no company would be stupid enough' to fire them but miscalculated.

At the same time white males kept their mouth shut because they knew that 'no company would be stupid enough' doesn't apply to them.

Need more data.


if anything i’d expect them to go out of their way to fire some white men to avoid lawsuits


Yep, not diverse enough without white men.
