And as much as a lot of people here seem to like the water bottles, I would find it a little creepy if I got in a stranger's car and he offered me a bottle of water.

Maybe we're reading different things, because the posts I am reading tend to mostly make the argument that they show up quickly or are around (review posts almost always cite "car got here in X minutes, wow") as well as the low price in contrast to a cab.
The racist thing is balony. I'm not saying that some people are not racist as I am sure you're right that some people are, but not the majority. Let's flip it around. Let's say most cabbies were white, and the cartel bribery BS system was in place, and Uber came in to destroy the market and most of the Uber drivers were ethnic.
Would people still be raving about Uber? I seriously think so. Because it's cheaper, and they are around. It's superior service that's driving this (no pun intended), not race.
