if i buy from 3rd party sellers it's cheapest price and a good rating (higher the better).

my journey to buy from 3rd party sellers will begin again (could be next year or future). depends which path i want to start on once i get all the vita games that have plats.

As a person who tries this patronize black business, this is just typical corporate pandering to garner favor.

Can't wait for all the white people to feel like a victim over this for some reason, despite there being no asian owned, indian owned, etc...and those people don't seem to care. (I don't, I fully understand why this is a thing)...But yea, Keep ignoring context, guys.

i guess its easier to pander then it is to deal with the huge problems on the platform, like shit products and fake reviews.

oh, and by easier i meant cheaper, they're sure to make more money with this bullshit instead of fixing the issues i listed...

huge among the conservative & vet crowds. a lot of small town places will have "veteran owned" next to their company name just to procure more business, and it works.

I'm curious whast this looks like from the seller's end. Do they pay extra to show up on these lists? Is Amazon trying to monetize their race or gender?

The fact that you see this and immediately think that is kinda odd. Im neither black nor a woman, nor in the military and none of that offends me.

You don't think it's offensive to imply that black or female businesses can't compete on their own so they need to be specifically pointed out?

No. I dont see an issue with acknowledging groups of people who historically have been held back or ignored in areas like this. You trying to pretend youre upset about this on their behalf is laughable lol.

Progressives keep saying we should all be more like them, so I am. I am offended on behalf of others, just like progressives taught me.

As for the actual topic, how are blacks and women held back on Amazon? When I buy something from Amazon I have absolutely no idea who the fuck I'm buying from. Other then the very obvious Chinese sellers, I have no idea what race/gender/age the sellers are. Nor do I care. If I like the product and the price I buy it. I literally don't give a shit what color the person's skin is or what's between their legs because that has no effect on anything.
