> How long till "I don't want a black/white/gay/etc driver" options show up?

Slippery slope fallacy.

> "All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others." — George Orwell, Animal Farm

Women being harassed by Uber drivers isn't a necessary part of life, and wanting to address this issue isn't equivalent to literal Soviet communism. This quote is waaay out of place.



Playing devil's advocate, but can you justify discriminating against an entire class of people, because of the actions of a subset? Part of the reason for protected classes is not to be reduced as an individual to the perception of the group.


It's really not a long slope when you look at how racial discrimination already happens, and the differing crime rates there


I'd say that history has already established that this discrimination is likely as it has already occurred before.
