walshie 2,804 Posted May 28, 2015 Report Share Posted May 28, 2015 Whereas an asian customer could probably play the race card if it was a white driver, whatever the reason, the driver said he wouldn't take you because of the meat and not because you were a honky. Maybe he really didn't want the smell of meat in his car, or thought the bag might leak? As said above, his car, his rules. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MoChara 1,632 Posted May 28, 2015 Report Share Posted May 28, 2015 For all we know maybe he thought it was a dismembered body Folks minds nowadays are usually suspicious of everyone Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rabbit demon 302 Posted May 28, 2015 Report Share Posted May 28, 2015 my brothers a taxi driver and it costs a few quid everytime somethings been spilt or someone has pissed themselves or been sick in his car lol. He then has to take time off to get the car cleaned which is losing him money, the guy was probably fed up paying costs to clean his motor and wasnt taking the chance of your butchers bags bursting. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Born Hunter 17,751 Posted May 28, 2015 Report Share Posted May 28, 2015 Is it racist........... well, was it white or dark meat? LOL Don't drop to that level matey. People of different race can have a disagreement without it having to be an attack on your race. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The one 8,467 Posted May 28, 2015 Report Share Posted May 28, 2015 Its his car up to him if he looses money by turning down a fare ? If there in black bags how did he know what they where ?. if you make a mess in a taxi here its £25 cover charge to get it cleaned see lots of students griping about it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
j1985 1,983 Posted May 28, 2015 Report Share Posted May 28, 2015 Not racist really is it, if he'd called you a dirty white b*****d then yeh but refusing you entry into HIS car isn't racist.....some people are just weird Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TOMO 26,064 Posted May 28, 2015 Report Share Posted May 28, 2015 It only becomes an issue if you say say something illegal ,,,like mush just wrote above,,,,the same as that hotel that wouldn't let the gays stay,,, If that hotel had simply said,,,we are full ,,,there would be no probs,,, Some of you know I work the doors,,,and we can refuse entry to anybody without giving a reason,,,there is no law to say we must give a reason,,,,likewise,,,if I said your not coming in you black c unt,,,that would be illegal ... Tell you what though it don't half wind folk up ,,,when you won't give them a reason 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
