Yeah agreed you don't have to be the same ethnic background as the cab driver to do this. I doubt that helps much at all, its probably more important that you're nice about it and think to ask.
I think a cab driver gave my mom his card b/c she would call him whenever the family wanted to get to the airport b/c he said he'd give her a flat rate for it. We've only done it 2-3 times but he gave us a good flat rate for calling him directly or something, or asking for him. I'm not sure what she did but she just asked for a deal.
This wasn't in Hamilton though.
