Humanity is so often put upon to exercise judgement, such that Christianity I think left such matters to a state that should come after the one we know while we're here. Meanwhile we're free as might be to illustrate our concerns in a hymnody I like to go to every so often-- https://youtube.com/watch?v=papU0gaxOHk .
We all came here from someplace else. I was reminded of this when I recently re-discovered a log I kept in 1970-72 when I was building my own house after getting out of the Army. In this log I kept track of all the subcontractors, hires, service providers, etc. I was surprised at the number of ethnicities/nationalities represented in the log (judging solely by surnames).
I had worked with or employed people of numerous immigrant ethnicities; I can name FOURTEEN different ones in the building of my house—Spanish (mason), Irish (excavator, surveyor, engineer), Russian (carpenter), Hungarian (carpenter, blasting), German (electrician, surveyor), Ukranian (painter), English (carpenter, septic, well, architect, laborer), Italian (mason), Scot (plumber, lawyer), Dutch (tiler), Polish (refuse hauler), Czech (drywall), Finnish (excavator), German/Jewish (attorney). This catalogue is more than 50 years old. I had no awareness at the time of their (assumed) origins. I note, also in retrospect, that my list doesn't include, though it was not my intent, African-Americans or Hispanics. Today that list would be even more inclusive. Everybody has something to contribute--if not right now, always eventually.
I wonder why the Uber or Taxi driver or you didn't try to use a translation application on your smartphones. Uber should provide the driver with instructions on how to use the application.
I have friends who use that application when traveling to Europe and it worked well for them.

Yes, the invisible algorithms. They are evil.
