In this day and age, it is quite unfortunate to see a particular racial group being declined service. However, the woke culture would call this whole issue as White supremacy despite the perpetrators not being White. Recently, a viral headline is grinding the gears of both the conservatives and liberals.
Apparently, Black people are getting ignored by cab drivers. According to an opinion piece on Medium, around two-thirds (66%) of African Americans in Chicago believe that taxi drivers in the city deliberately discriminate against them. Furthermore, a majority of 62% among African Americans feel that low-income and minority neighborhoods are more likely to experience poor service.
This includes service refusal. Among African Americans, 48% believe that hailing a cab might result in being ignored. In contrast, just 23% of Whites anticipate such treatment. Cabs are important to those who lack basic transportation access and to those who do not own a car.

I’m a driver. There is no pattern of behavior. They are just racist. Hope that’s helps.

Some users claim that if a pattern is correct, that would mean it is somewhat true. However, a cab driver responds to this remark stating that they do not find this as a pattern. In addition to this, the driver states that those who refuse a customer solely on their race, are in fact a racist despite their justifications.
