An Uber driver was recorded complaining in Brooklyn, New York of "too many Jews" while he had a Jewish passenger in the back seat of his car.
The video, posted by StopAntisemitism, has reached over 8,000 views on Twitter alone, and the numbers keep climbing. "Disgusting antisemitism from an Uber driver in Brooklyn complaining of 'too many Jews' while having a Jewish passenger in his car," StopAntisemitism wrote. "This bigotry must never be tolerated by your company, Uber."
After the Uber driver complained that there were "too many Jews," he continued to ask the passenger if all Jews come from Israel, to which the passenger replied, "No, I'm from America."
This isn't the first time a Jew has faced antisemitism while riding with Uber.
Back in 2019, an Uber driver in Los Angeles kicked two Jewish women out of his car after he found out they were coming from an Israel Independence Day celebration.
The driver, who said he was Palestinian, asked the women where they were coming from once they got in his car. They were hesitant to answer but told the driver after he didn't start the car. He then told them to get out of his car.
