Uber Eats Offers Free Delivery Until End of Year — But Only to Black-Owned Businesses
Equality means everything (and everyone) is on an even playing field. It doesn’t mean offering some services to a select group of people and not others.
That is the exact opposite of equality.
A lot of people still don’t get that.
From Fox News:
Uber said it will make changes to its ride-hailing app and Uber Eats delivery service to support black-owned businesses.
In an email to customers late Thursday, CEO Dara Khosrowshahi said Uber Eats will promote black-owned restaurants on its app, and that the service will not charge delivery fees to those restaurants “for the remainder of the year.”
Continued:
Uber will also offer discounted rides to black-owned small businesses “who have been hit hard by COVID-19,” though it did not add how much of a discount would be given.
