Some people here are discussing whether its racist to discriminate because of personal safety. So I did some research. It turns out that Blacks were always upset that they were less likely to be picked up by cabs and a 2016 study showed that Uber drivers were twice as likely to cancel on a black name (irrelevant to the route), 30% longer wait time, and that if youre white, you have 3x chance that the first taxi that passes you will pick you up.
1. Again the study is not using black names (the first two studies were names. The 3rd was actual people and I would lile to know how they dressed) – they are using invented Black Power ghetto names.
2. Taxi drivers may be afraid for their personal safety.
3. But then they shouldn’t be taxi drivers.
So I guess systemic racism – at least in some industries – exist.
