Who delivers your Amazon or other online order packages?

I'm glad someone got my intent. In my opinion Amazon are the ones who seemed to make this commercial all about race in the ending scene. Probably because it's black history month-which is cool as long as what you're presenting is true and in my experience it's not having never seen a female express delivery driver period let alone a black female one.

Amazon chose not to use a brown or even black male actor as the driver- which is my experience too who mostly delivers my packages.

Come to think of it if it was a black male driver in the commercial it wouldn't have even struck me as odd at all and I would never have made it a thread topic here.

So obviously the question IS about race and commercials, not who actually delivers for you.

I find Canada post quite varied, FedEx and UPS to be majority non-white while as leafscom mentioned, Amazon (and other subcontractors) are generally poorer and more desperate for work. Where I am, the vast majority are non-white (though far more men than women). Fact is in a city like Toronto, the people willing to take crappy jobs like Amazon delivery are poorer and statistically that means more likely to be non-white.


And in case the OP missed it, there are many jurisdictions in the US where there are a lot of black people and they have all kinds of jobs. Get over it.

When one want to nitpick, he or she is bound to find something to stir up.

I find D99 to be unhinged. His writing style where he's always bolding and enlarging his text strikes me as a tactic that would be used by a teenaged girl. If his messages were handwritten there would be concern for his mental health tbh. Everyone in this thread has been able to have a rational conversation about a trivial observation except him. It's disturbing to see what this brand of "Wokeism" has done to some of the weaker minded people in our society.

As for my packages. White guys/White Women/East Indian guys/Black guys. I've only really noticed because I have a video doorbell. I usually never make it to the door in time to actually converse with the person. There's a company called Intelcom that delivers a lot of my Amazon packages. To show how busy they are one time I watched a woman go back into her van after delivering me a package then check her phone and then pull one driveway ahead in her van and deliver another package

I highly suspect he's on mood stabilizing meds so I just let it slide. Don't know which, there's quite a few depending on his mental health diagnosis. It likely ends with the letter e. I could say many things that I know would get under his skin just to be a bug but I think of the consequences of who or what he would use as a punching bag as an emotional release. People I suspect like him have been known to pick up cats and throw them against the walls when triggered.

I've only been here for a month and a half so I'm learning and just trying to contribute to adult conversation.

One of the rules of this board is not to be rude and unwelcoming to new members so shame @doggystyle99 @Jenesis and also @thosewholikedtheirbullingcomments for making me feel like the new kid at elementary school picked on because they wear leg braces.

To all others thanks for sharing your experience and a special thanks to those that stuck up for me.

I would have liked your reply but your comment about the US is a moot point.
