Jeff Bezos is getting praised for calling out racist emails from customers. Here are the Amazon CEO's sharpest jabs at his critics, from calling one 'the kind of customer he's happy to lose' to a reported blackmail attempt
That same day, the Washington Post had published a story, in which he accused Bezos of dodging a conversation about Amazon's ongoing issue with counterfeit goods. In the interview, Navarro described seeing Bezos at a dinner in Washington, DC, and deciding to approach him to press for a meeting. Bezos reportedly told Navarro to call Jay Carney, Amazon's senior vice president of global corporate affairs, who would set up a meeting. Navarro apparently took that response as an insult.
In response, Bezos described what it's like to be the father of a 20-year-old white son versus a 20-year-old black son.
