> Now, is that really a case of racial discrimination? Let's just break it down into whether it's discriminative thinking, or perhaps just reduce the thinking down to whether that single proposition might likely be a logical fallacy or not. "Person A of set X is the only one I have ever interacted with, with the properties of said interaction being Y." Well...how many people of set X have you met? Two? A dozen? One hundred? That number matters. If the cab driver had met two previous people of set X prior to A - why did he choose to say it at that time? Intuition tells me that it's because the cab driver had expected that all future people of set X would have properties Y, and is voicing his expectation. If the number had been 100, then he was voicing an observation. But, even if the number had been 100, and he was voicing an observation, then where did that assignment of property Y come from? With the property Y being, "positive," suggests all-or-nothing thinking...e.g. that interactions can either be positive or negative, rather than gradations and interactions in between. Typically this kind of, "all or nothing," thinking is considered fallacious. Just because some kind of fallacious thinking may have occurred, does not mean that the cab driver was necessarily thinking discriminatorily. It's possible that in the world somewhere, there is a cab driver who happened to pick up only the worst, nastiest people of a type X, greater than 1,000 of them, representing all different subcategories of X from his point of view, from all over the world, for his entire career up until that very day when he for the first time, encountered a positive interaction, amazingly. But the simpler explanation is that he was just discriminating.
