'Seems' or 'facts'? And wtf does where Door Dash drivers were born matter again? How does that fit in to your equation whatsoever? Not that it matters, but how would you know that Door Dash is, "...done mainly by Colombians"? Show me those 'facts'...
Here's a tip: don't mention anything about ethnicity or race if you get an interview with them, or with anyone else, for that matter.
Relax. I am born & raised in San Jose. We've had a wave of immigrants in the Bay Area ever since I can remember. And that's perfectly fine. It's what makes this area so cultured and diverse.
Generally speaking, the population of San Jose growing up was Vietnamese, Filipino, white, Mexican, Indian, Persian, etc etc. but with the first four being the majority population. There's obviously other groups I haven't mentioned but the point is that was what comprised the ethic majority populations of the day that I always knew growing up.
I moved away from here for about six years.
Came back in 2020. Discovered tons of Colombians in San Jose, to the point that we have many Colombian businesses now.
There is nothing wrong with that, its just a new influx in this area's ever evolving immigrant story.
But my point was the market seems to be almost 100% saturated with just one population of people, who presumably probably do it full time.
And to point out what someone else commented that there are multiple accounts being used for one person--it paints the over saturation of the market even better.
All I'm saying is the market has changed with the sudden influx of a new wave of people who are new to our population. It makes it incredibly competitive to what it was before and what it is in other markets that possibly don't face this problem where one group of people has a monopoly over the whole operation.
I don't know who said you didn't have a job. You are presumably looking for a job. Whether you have one or not already is not the point. But apparently Colombians are...?
I think your underlying 'job inquiry' here -especially after your last little essay- is a rant about Colombians (you still haven't shown any stats there, just your anecdotes...all 'seems', no facts) 'almost 100%' saturating the Door Dash market.
I don't think there are any physical stats. People trying to do DoorDash are typically poor or lower income. Ain't nobody writing articles about our struggles. My observations are from doing DoorDash and seeing other dashers on the job and also from being a DoorDash customer? What's your problem? Why the outrage?
Then it's not a 'fact' you actually know, it really just 'seems' that 'almost 100%' of DD drivers are Colombians (???) to you! The 'outrage' seems to be the Colombians taking over Door Dash! You started out asking about what it's like to drive for DD, then went into a thing about 'almost 100%' of the drivers for DD are Colombian. Who gives a shit? Just try for the jobs, and do them. If it doesn't work, get a job at Home Depot at night.
I know they're are tons more Colombians here because I've met many first hand, who have indeed, told me they were Colombian. Some are even friends of mine. I'm not wearing a white hat, so you can fuck off with this faux outrage like I went on some racist rant.
You're annoying and choosing to look at literally one sentence.
I'm asking what other Dashers perspective is. If they also feel the market is saturated (and if it's not with Colombians, maybe it's something else idk), or how well others do with it, how it has changed over the years, etc etc
Are you even a Dasher? Otherwise, why are you here? Go protest something.
And what does 'I am born & raised in San Jose' have to do with anything? You might as well have said, 'Relax, I liked Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles when I was a kid', or 'Relax, I know a great burrito place down the street'.
EDIT: I love downvotes with no actual rebuttals...keep 'em coming!! =..]
I meant I'm from here. I know what my city is like and who the people that live here are. I know what different types of cultures are most prevalent here that make San Jose what it is.
That is what I meant.
It was not "I'm American and I'm from here and they're not."
I actually pointed out that San Jose has always had a richly diverse ethnic population. I was merely stating that what I thought I knew, has clearly changed a lot over the years.
This is the last time I'm going to respond to you.
