> Now, is that really a case of racial discrimination? Maybe, for some reason, black people are more likely to give cab drivers a hard time? Even if it not related to skin color directly, such as which neighborhood one is at. The author didn't say it was racial discrimination. The author said that is something he has experienced. To the point or racial discrimination, if cab drivers make the connection that picking up black passengers will lead to a negative experience, they might conclude that all black passengers should be avoided. That is racial discrimination. * I remember 2 years ago being out at night with a coworker (who is not from the US) in Chicago trying to hail a cab, and several empty cabs drove on by. When she went to hail one, the first one she hailed stopped, and I quickly got in with her. She was surprised that no cabs would stop for me. I told her "Welcome to America. This is what racism is like."
