So I took an uber pool today.
And I was called the Nword, very perplexing. I just sat smiled and sipped coffee. What would you have done?

Situational ethics has gone places Joseph Fletcher never imagined in his wildest dreams.
You’re in an Uber pool and get called the n-word. I will assume the endearment came from the driver.
If the driver is black and he seems otherwise polite and courteous, smile and sip your coffee.
If the driver is not black, tell him that word is unacceptable and don’t tip.
If some in the pool are black and they seem okay with it (if the driver’s black) then just offer a high-5.
If anybody, especially the driver, appears the tiniest bit hostile, get out and walk.

@Mamapolo2016 no it wasn't the driver. It was a black passenger.

@Fulcrum Interesting. I think you handled it the best way possible. I have had similarly startling experiences on city buses.
