When food delivery businesses do not want to send their delivery people in certain neighborhoods (like black neighborhoods) because of safety reasons (the delivery people getting robbed and/or beaten up) they have to be careful or else the businesses might be sued. Whatever happened to the right to assemble? I am against racism like any other reasonable person, but it seems to me that the right to assemble is largely ignored. When delivery businesses choose not to deliver to certain places because of safety that is perfectly logical. It is not based on racism. It is a survival instinct--you do not go to places where your safety is jeopardized if you don't have to. Women do not jog in a park where they know rapes occur. If white men are beating up their drivers in a certain neighborhood they would probably not deliver to that neighborhood too.
It is the responsibility of businesses to look out for their employees. City governments that force delivery businesses to deliver to high-crime neighborhoods are not looking out for their citizens.
The reason that the Muslim cab drivers are not picking up people with dogs is that they think dogs are impure and they are not allowed to touch them by Islamic law. Here is the difference between the Muslim cab drivers and the food delivery drivers. The Muslim cab drivers do not pick up people with dogs because of superstition. The food deliver drivers do not drive to certain neighborhoods because of safety reasons. If a Muslim cab driver was not picking up a guy because he was dangerous looking or if a person had a mean growling dog that would be a different story. That I can understand.
