A DoorDash driver has been fired from the company after a video of him using a racial slur towards a customer surfaced online. The incident occurred in Nashville, Tennessee and was captured by the customer's surveillance camera. The customer, Christina Derrica, shared the footage on TikTok and it has since been viewed over 3.3 million times.
In the video, the driver, who goes by the name "Tabby," can be heard saying, "Here's your food, n****r" as he takes a photo for confirmation of delivery. He then adds, "Chow down, n****r," before leaving the scene. Derrica also shared a note she received from DoorDash, stating that the driver has been removed from the platform after an investigation.
Many TikTok users expressed concern for Derrica's safety, but she reassured them that she lives in the south and can handle herself. She also clarified that she had pre-tipped $8 on a $28 order, dispelling any claims that the driver's behavior was due to lack of tip.
In a new version of the video, Derrica bleeped out the racial slurs in order to comply with TikTok's community guidelines. She also mentioned that the driver's name in the app was "tabby" and there was no profile picture, raising concerns that he may create a new profile under a different name and continue delivering for DoorDash.
Derrica also revealed that she threw the food away and is still not relieved despite the driver's termination. She worries that he may continue to work for DoorDash under a different identity. This incident is just one of many recent examples of racism and discrimination that have been exposed on social media platforms.
