I won't speak for Peter12, but I wasn't really referring to this thread about racism in the taxi industry. But it's very real and the amount of it I think would blow away a lot of people. It's very bad, both the subtle and direct racism those drivers face on a daily basis. It's absolutely not to be dismissed in a discussion like this.
Like what do you think the poster below is referring to, white guys who don't shower? Very few people in general don't shower before going to work, but my one buddy is Indian and says he gets told to shower a few times a week because they eat a lot of curry in their culture and white people tend to take it as an off putting smell and equate it to lack of hygiene. For the record, I can smell it and what people are likely referring to but it's not a BO smell, it's just a different smell than white people are used to.
