Pro-Trump legal group accuses Amazon of racial discrimination

The pro-Trump group America First Legal launched a class action suit against Amazon on Wednesday, claiming the corporation is engaging in racist business practices by treating Black, Indian and Latino employees better than the company’s White and Asian workers.

In a 5-page complaint filed in the Eastern District of Texas, America First Legal argued the tech giant is paying Black, Latino and Indian “delivery service partners” a $10,000 bonus but not offering the same to White or Asian American delivery partners.

The legal group is representing a White Texas woman, who is bringing the action on behalf of others who do not qualify for the bonus.
