I understand that you mean to say that you expect the quality of Uber rides to drop, but can you do so in a way that doesn't draw upon negative stereotypes of other ethnicities?
- theg2 12y agoI don't think it has to do with ethnicity as it does with the experience of every regular cab I've ever gotten into.
- freehunter 12y agoIt's not really a stereotype if you're just accurately describing the inside of a cab (and not even mentioning any other ethnicity).
- yedava 12y agoI suppose then English is an 'unknown' language and Americans as a rule burn incense?
- freehunter 12y agoCan you be stereotypical of every non-American culture at the same time with one phrase?
- wmeredith 12y agoEh, ethnicity wasn't mentioned. You took that leap yourself ;)
- mtalantikite 12y agoIf "unknown languages" and imagery of incense isn't racially coded I'm not sure what is. The statement was plainly racist, whether it was intentional or not.
