Perhaps--only a guess-- because "they all look alike to us"?
(Think of the news stories about Indians who have been targeted by some who
wanted to take their hatred out on Arabs.)
Or perhaps it was just the fact that it was New York City, where drivers
are not normally noted for their helpfulness, regardless of who is in need

God bless America,
Land that I love!
Stand beside her, and guide her
Thru the night with a light from above.
From the mountains, to the prairies,
To the oceans, white with foam�
God bless America!
My home, sweet home.
-- Irving Berlin (1888-1989)
