Perhaps it's not ethnic at all - maybe it's a dislike of people who refuse to drive anything other than a gas hog and those who disobey or disregard lights, lanes, and people - maybe it's because of one incident too many - like when my kid was on his bike and was knocked down by a cabbie who didn't bother to stop - luckily the passenger was concerned and got the cab info to my son, who suffered only scrapes and bruised - cabdrivers should look to themselves and figure out if it's their behavior rather than their ethnicity that elicits bad feelings and behavior.

Only 1 in 5 cabbies are assaulted.­.

wow I thought it would be more than that
because of how they are generally inconsiderate
drivers, who will change lanes without notice
be sure to get in front of you with no particular
place to go.....Als­o few know the city and fastest
way to get there thus you are always getting over charged...
