Drivers for ride-hailing services Uber and Lyft treat African Americans and women differently from white men, according to new research released Monday.

And if they treated them exactly the same, some “study” would find that is wrong too, because they are supposed to be treated extra-special.
Next question...
It’s long been known NYC cabbies discriminate against blacks. But this gets little attention bc the discrimnating cabbies are not white.
They didn't check whether women and African Americans discriminate against Uber and Lyft drivers....
WAY too many interesting election threads to open the link.
After the election would have been better :)
I thought Google and Uber were all in for Hill????
There are many reasons to avoid certain groups as customers. Violence, false accusations, unreasonable demands, etc.
Then there is the question of payment and gratuities. A large percentage of women and certain ethnic groups are notoriously averse to tipping, even those that work in the service industry and rely on tips themselves.
With Uber there are no tips, and there is no cash.
Blacks wait longer for rides because nobody is cruising their neighborhoods waiting for fares, because black neighborhoods dont use Uber as much as other neighborhoods.
There is nothing racist going on, just a bunch of pointy headed intellectual douchebags trying to stir up problems.
These effin retards from MIT should get out in the real world once in a while.
We used UBER while in L.A. last year. EVERY driver was middle eastern. Including one obvious Pali (had a miniature pali flag on his dash).
Tipping is not a part of Uber or Lyft.
You as a driver take in a black man from or near a bad neighborhood and you can get robbed or killed, or the fee not paid. Too much risk involved. Women meanwhile, don’t tip as well as men. Blacks often don’t tip at all.
“Who tips?”
Well, not blacks that’s for sure. Bartender, server, waiter etc back in college and my collective experience, they’re the cheapest. Not all. Just most.
Well, I’m a woman; and my Daddy taught me to tip at least 20% for everything; and I always do.
I wouldn’t use Uber or Lyft. I like the old-fashioned cab companies with full-time, experienced drivers. I’m not comfortable with just *anybody*, who decides to get a few bucks doing this a few hours per week, driving me around.
I never got one. And I’m in Hollywood. Mostly Asians. The ME’s tend to go with Uber while Asians are with Lyft.
They missed the middle eastern taxi poll. No women or blacks as they are inferior until conquered. Unless they are run around by an arab male.
Sorry, my time line is off. Some of the black countries are now now muslim. They are still slaves and have no positions of power in the muslim world. Never will! The arabs hate the blacks worse than the whites, actually funny in context. As the american blacks run to Islam
Yup, equality was never the goal. They all want special treatment. All the perks and none of the negatives.
Perhaps white guys on average dont complain so much about stuff women and minorities are unable to let go of. They also dont have a thousand advocacy groups to go and whine to, either.
Women are crap tippers. Blacks are worse.
Certain predictable stereotypes did not come into existence for no good reasons.
