Uber Eats removes delivery fee for Black-owned restaurants

Well, this is somewhat meaningful in that they do something that actually costs something. But the principle is wrong.

And, will they do this for other minorities when they suffer discrimination at the hands of the state? How about poor people?

"The way to stop discrimination on the basis of race is to stop discriminating on the basis of race."

I can only say - be very careful in how you approach these issues. Similar actions in india resulted in not so great outcomes from the government and corporations. And we are still stuck with the prejudice and discrimination - for some even greater than before.

The only surprising thing here is that the Twitter thread is (rightly) against this move.

Twitter's algorithm seems to foster single opinion threads - I have a feeling it has to do with how they select suggested comments for users. I wonder if this only means that the first few people to comment had negative opinions, and things snowballed there?

What a terrible social system - designed to exclusively foster single opinion "discussions" that serve to do nothing but masturbate egos and create a false illusion consensus....yet this seems to be the direction that most social media has taken and I can't help but wonder if this isn't seriously contributing to the breakdown of discourse in this country.

That's racist.
