Uber is a lot better than AirBnb. I use an app and the person picks me up and drops me off. If the driver cancels I automatically get another one scheduled, they don’t check my ratings or care if I have never used an Uber before, don’t have to worry about the Uber not picking me up because of the color of my skin.

The AirBnb may be illegal, there is no consistency with how you get in and you can’t even find out the address until after you reserve. Hidden fees, weird policies, you never know what you are going to get or have any recourse if they cancel on you



I’m curious, what has made Uber feel safe for you in terms of racism?

And also did you have a problem with AirBnB based on skin color?


Airbnb admitted it to their credit

I spent over $10K on Uber over a year a couple of years ago.
