A woman has been arrested on suspicion of a racially-aggravated public order offence after an "inappropriate" comment was made, police said.
The 62-year-old is being held over a Facebook post advertising the recruitment of taxi drivers.
A taxi firm advertised for staff on social media, but said it did not want to employ Pakistani or "dark" drivers.
South Wales Police said it took "such matters seriously" and was working with Neath Port Talbot council.
The post was criticised by former Plaid Cymru leader Leanne Wood, who tweeted that it "disgusted" her.
Publishing an advert which discriminates on the basis of a protected characteristic, which includes race, is unlawful under the Equality Act 2010.

This liberal was ousted last year. She now has a lot of time on her hands, apparently.
Of coarse all the anti Tommy Robinson posts are just fine.
I wonder if, or how many, Pakistani taxi drivers have arrested for raping their passengers?
Sounds like a Scottish-Welsh cross.
Exactly correct. It is a basic freedom of association.
Require government agencies to be colorblind. I am all for the law being applied equally to all.
Private interactions should not be demanded by the government. That is the way to closing down Christian bakeries, and government mandated changes in ethics.
Yes, freedom of association SHOULD be one of our most fundamental, precious rights, but we lost that right with the passing of the Civil Rights Act.
But the taxi company is way over quota for Packi and Dark drivers.
Pakistani Dark is a variety of chocolate. Now they are going to require which variety you eat, or don’t eat, whichever the case may be?
Welsh nationalist, which is almost as ludicrous economically speaking.
