    Study illustrates how African Americans face bias in everyday interactions as blacks face longer wait times on Uber, Lyft and taxis. http://usat.ly/2MqC2dY pic.twitter.com/XGOKwFuTnT

        So are African Americans skyping in so that dispatchers can see they are black, and does the Uber app have a hidden camera in it? This is no doubt the silliest claim of the ages.

        This has to do with locations not race. I would strongly bet. Neighborhood locations not because black to punish or caise of racism.

        Uber discriminates against whites since they wait longer than we Mexicans? 😂 C’mon @USATODAY! This is demagoguery 🤨Just trying to fuel racial tensions; there are sooooo many factors to consider for this “study”

        That's right, read your assumptions into the data rather than investigating to find the real reasons behind the given data-points.

        I would think this is more of a location issue than skin color since these drivers do not know what color of skin their pickups have ahead of time.

        Do the drivers know the color of their skin via facetime? - perhaps there are actual real reasons for these waits?
