That really is a ridiculous comment.....
Firstly I can see why few women do it given the solitary nature of the job and picking up men in the car at all hours. Secondly being a cabby is very much a family trade, usually from east end and essex families, and is multi generational, with fathers, uncles and sons sharing a cab and taking it in shifts making the money go much further. Having spoken to almost every cab driver about the knowledge (a good friend of mine is midway through it right now so I always chat about it) I've never heard any of the non-white drivers express any sentiment of racism whatsoever.
Why is it that in a city that is 25% non white and 50% female that 90% of minicab drivers are non-white and exactly 0% are female? Perhaps its one of the most entrenched bastions of the anti-white movement in the uk?
