I'm not complaining. I'm just showing you that stereotypes and myths exist everywhere.

I tried that in Boston (not New York, as I thought to remember). The driver was EXTREMELY nervous then and didn't let me sit in the front. The cab was shitty and there was a thick transparent shield between the backseat and the front. Something you would never see in Germany.

Ok, I'm complaining, cause they're bad :) The driver was EXTREMELY nervous Sure, but he didn't pull a gun on you. I've had more guns pointed at me in Europe than in my (undoubtedly sheltered) subsequent life in the US.
