The solution to cab racism was a lie anyway, I've been kicked out of an Uber multiple times because of "I don't go to that neighborhood" (which happens to be primarily black)

Don't you enter your destination before getting picked up?

Every time I've gotten into an uber the first two questions have been "PriceChild? Where are you headed?"

I'm very sure they don't get the destination when choosing whether to accept the ride, and often don't seem to get it until you get in the car?

I believe both services stopped exposing that information to the driver pre-pickup to lessen the problem of cherrypicking.

I do, which makes it all the more troubling. I assume these drivers didn't look at it before picking me up.

You don't have to.
