Perhaps you haven't committed the crime of living in a poor neighborhood or looking like a minority.

Aren't most taxi drivers [in NYC] from "minority" populations? Do they really discriminate in this way?

[hueving]

Yes, some the most racist taxi drivers I have encountered were minorities with prejudices against other minorities. Everyone is afraid to call a minority a bigot so this behavior tends to be unchecked compared to when a white guy does it.

That's a good point. I've lived in poor neighborhoods but I'm not a minority.
