Al Roker: NYC Taxi Passed Him And Sick Son For 'White Guy,' Files Complaint (TWEETS)

America's favorite weatherman Al Roker tweeted that a New York City taxi drove past him and his sick son to pick up a "white guy" instead, according to People. Roker filed an official complaint today.

"It is against the law for a taxi driver on duty to refuse to pick you up because of race, disability, or destination within New York City," noted NYC.gov. Passengers can file a complaint against a yellow taxi driver for "refusing your requests, including requests for pick-up, change of radio volume, heat, or air conditioning."

Roker tweeted about how upset he was on Saturday, Nov. 21, reported Us Weekly.
