I shared this because I am honestly intrigued by it. Do the lawsuits have valid grounds? Where can we draw the line?
Try reading it reversed, i.e.:

Uber ditching delivery fees for category X

can be also read as:

Uber charging delivery fees for those not belonging to category X

The net effect is anyway that a same meal, with the same list price will arrive at your home with - say - 20% different (+ or -) cost due uniquely to the race of who prepared it.

Sure it is a form of discrimination, whether it is "good" and/or made in "good will" and for a "good cause" should be irrelevant for the Law, of course it has to be seen.

Imagine if they said white restaurants get free deliveries. Would that be OK?

Had they provided an option to donate money to a cause that happened to distribute it to black restaurants, they may have been able to circumvent this. What they do with the money they earned is their business.
