No. Would it be racist if a Spanish customer rings up and ask for a Spanish speaking driver? No. The question that would need to be asked is why the customer feels the need to ask for an English speaking driver. |

We get that a lot, our older ladies don't feel safe (or so they say) with a non English speaking driver. Though why a non English speaking driver would be interested in a wrinkly is beyond me

No. The ability to speak English has nothing to do with race. A person of any race can learn to speak any language. Even indigenous Englishmen can learn english
