Asian taxi driver loses lawsuit, Uber cleared of racism

A US appeals court recently rejected a proposed class action against Uber Technologies, accusing the company of racial discrimination. The San Francisco-based 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that Thomas Liu, a driver who filed the lawsuit, did not provide sufficient evidence to support his claim that Uber disproportionately removed non-white drivers from its app compared to white drivers with low ratings. Liu’s lawyer, Shannon Liss-Riordan, expressed disappointment with the ruling and hinted that they may appeal the decision.

Uber’s rating system allows passengers to rate drivers on a scale of one to five, leading to deactivation for drivers who fail to maintain high scores. Liu, an Asian-American driver, claimed he was deactivated after his rating dropped below 4.6. He argued that passengers are more likely to give poor ratings to non-white drivers, alleging that Uber’s use of the rating system violates anti-discrimination laws.
