‘DON’T DRIVE JEWS’: Jewish Miss Slovakia Miriam Mattova Kicked Out of Uber For Being Jewish

The religion of peace strikes again.

This incident is not unusual. Ubering when Jewish: Never self identify, never use Jewish words when on the phone or mention the Jewish state. Self preservation.

‘Don’t drive Jews’: Jewish ex-Miss Slovakia Miriam Mattova kicked out of Toronto Uber — Interview

“At that moment, I chose to step out of the car, not out of fear but out of clarity. When someone reveals open discrimination, there is no reason to remain in that space,” Mattova explained.

Canadian-Slovakian Jewish model Miriam Mattova was kicked out of an Uber in Toronto when the driver realized she was a Jew. Mattov’s lawyer, Howard Levitt, told The Jerusalem Post on Sunday.

The incident occurred on November 30, when Mattova got into an Uber on Dundas Street (booked by her friend) to travel to her home. Once in the car, Mattova facetimed another friend and casually recounted details of her recent trip to Israel.

In the middle of the intersection, the driver, a Muslim woman, suddenly hit the brakes and told Mattova to get out of the car. She asked her what was happening, and the driver responded that she did not feel comfortable with Mattova in the car.

“I asked why, because I still didn’t understand the situation, and then the driver responded by saying they do not drive Jewish people,” Mattova told the Post.

“At that moment, I chose to step out of the car, not out of fear but out of clarity. When someone reveals open discrimination, there is no reason to remain in that space.”

However, they only received a response after the story was published in The National Post.

“Uber responded with a phone call, saying that they are going to give me a refund. I wanted to be clear that this situation is about more than the cost of a ride and that the incident I experienced was a blatant act of antisemitism.”
Mattova inquired as to whether the driver would be removed from the company, to which Uber responded that it could not give her an answer. In a subsequent email correspondence, Uber said it would speak to the driver, but no more information was provided.

“When [Uber] called [Mattova], they wanted to ask whether she had an injury from it, like an insurance company does,” added Levitt. “That is all they were interested in, not about the racism of the driver.”

Levitt sent Uber a letter demanding that it stipulate in every driver’s contract that there can be no discrimination, basing the stipulations on human rights grounds, which of course include religion and race.

Levitt confirmed that if Uber does not respond, he will file a human rights application before the Human Rights Tribunal in Ontario.

Mattova told the Post that since she posted about the incident on Instagram, scores of people have been reaching out to her to say they have experienced similar antisemitic incidents. They had also reported the incidents to Uber but had received no answer.
