> Being told by cab drivers that they’re the first Black person they’ve ever had a positive encounter with

This was the most surprising to me in his list of things he has grown accustomed to.

This is the quote that stood out to me most too. It's quite appalling to me that this is "normal" for the guy. I can't help but feel like our perception of others has been molded too much by things we see instead of the things we have done.

Only because it was the first time he ever stopped for a black person.
