You read the title, so of course it's not. According to two different studies, if the driver of a ridesharing app can figure out that the person they are a about to give a lift to is African-American (either through their name or picture), they are more likely to try to screw that person over.

One of the studies by MIT, Stanford University, and the University of Washington compared over 1,400 trips in Seattle and Boston using randomly selected times, days, and routes. No matter when or where the trip took place, African-American passengers were left to wait up to 35 percent longer before the driver arrived. That was if the driver picked them up at all, because black riders were also much more likely to have their car cancel on them after a pickup was confirmed. However, some drivers were sneaky in their racism. Since Uber and Lyft punish drivers who cancel too many rides, some of them would go to the wrong pickup point in order to try to get the rider to cancel out of frustration.

Uber and Lyft drivers also manage to be extra creepy with women passengers. Unlike black passengers, male drivers were absolutely fine with having women in their cars ... to the point where they seemed unwilling to let them leave. Female passengers were subjected to longer trips than necessary, often going through the same intersection more than once or past their drop-off point. They also reported that male drivers were extremely chatty on these drives. Basically, some men see a woman in their car as a literal captive audience who must stay there and let him flirt with her until he's ready to drop her off or she decides to throw open the door and desperately roll into traffic. It would be pathetic if it wasn't for the fact that some drivers have actually kidnapped and assaulted women. It's almost as if a business of cars being driven by random strangers who never had to be fingerprinted or get a background check was a stupid idea.
