Identity Crisis in the Driver’s Seat
Some Uber drivers are chattier than others. This passenger encountered a driver who had a lot to say and left her speechless. She drummed up some normal small talk with her driver, which he interpreted as a perfect opportunity to talk about how he didn’t like Black people. The thing is, he was Black. Our storyteller didn’t know what to say, so she just let him rant.
He had some strong feelings and was not a fan of Black culture overall. He said some things that indicated he thought he was better than everyone else and didn’t understand why anyone would choose to act differently than himself. When he asked if our storyteller wanted to play any music in the car, he took that as an opportunity to talk down on rap music. This guy had some unresolved issues about his identity, and we don’t think our storyteller was the person to help him out with that.
