I could say the same to you. It's a broader trend that migrants from global south do plenty of delivery jobs. I'm not trying to discount your experience, but there are exceptions and outliers when it comes to statistics. Since you mentioned you are from PNW, just look across the border to Canada, and an often complain by racists is Indians working in convenience stores or delivery. And I'm like "what are you complaining? Who's going to do delivery for you or serve you in shops?" Same thing here in Europe, Indians working in convenience stores and South Americans delivering. The racists complain of poc migrants doing low skill job and not integrating, and yet can't live without ordering migrants to deliver food for them or working in shops. Britain has had issue of shortage of truck drivers after Brexit, especially during the pandemic. You'd think the white Britons who voted to leave the EU would learn their lesson, and yet they are close to electing a far right, anti-immigrant party that cosies up to Russia into power.

and this is why we shouldn’t allow anecdotal experience to take the place of factual information.
