I see where they’re coming from, but wow this is tone deaf. I guess hispanic businesses are immune from COVID, and white businesses are privileged enough to run at a loss indefinitely?

Maybe they should just treat their drivers better. They’re essentially all economically vulnerable.

Imagine if they offered health and legal insurance to their “contractors” instead.

How does that work, legally?

I’m not a lawyer, but it seems like a competing business that didn’t get the discount could sue Uber for racial discrimination.

This will just create more animosity.
