I can only wonder what the reaction of all those people who scream FREE MARKET would be when I go, "please get me a taxi driver who /isn't/ white."

People should be allowed to request whatever they want, even if it is a stupid request. The company has no obligation to accommodate them on this, though.

It is a very sad day for Europe when you have to request a normal driver. Worse, they are all Pakistanis so they are probably all muslim and support sharia law! Meanwhile so many honest christian Brits are unemployed, struggling to feed their family :(

All this genocide of european culture called immigration has to stop!

Let me use the rhetoric of those groups who usually demonify immigrants for a second, no matter how much I disagree with it:

maybe those brits should go get a bloody job instead of whining about all of them being stolen.

Probably more of a PR issue for the cab company. They really oughta be on top of their drivers if they are actually doing such things.

As one of those people who screams FREE MARKET, I would say exactly the same as I've already said about this case. You are well within your rights to make the request, but the company is in no way obligated to accommodate said request.

What do you mean by a "normal" driver? Are you trying to imply that anyone who isn't white isn't normal? Also, not all Pakistanis are Muslims, and not all Muslims support Sharia. Oh, and you also don't understand the definition of genocide.

They would if they could. Many businesses are already muslim owned, and they discriminate against Christians: you either convert to islam or stay unemployed. It will only get worst since muslims are well organized and send money for other muslims to buy more businesses. Meanwhile our treacherous governments take away our money in order to keep new immigrants on welfare.

This.

There is really not much choice in the case for city slickers, though. If you don't accept the fact that most taxi drivers are immigrants from non-white countries trying to get ahead, then that's too bad. Take the bus instead.

Hey, feel free to attack me instead of opening your eyes to the truth. I understand, the "multiculti" brainwashing implemented by the left is very efficient. I only regret that the majority of people will only wake up when it is too late.

Why the distinguishing between decisions on race vs decisions on gender?

A male/female doctor is at least somewhat relevant when it comes to certain procedures.

I don't think you know what a "fascist" is...

Also, i have nothing but goodwill towards Jews, the ones that tend to actually want the holocaust are the far-left, who are blinded by their hatred of Israel.
