Actually it is the non-driving stuff that is rather low brow. Comments about women, mothers, gross sterotypes that are sprinkled through this thread in poor taste.

Helps me understand the character of some of my fellow Pelicans better though.

I based my story on that incident. My experience is wide spread. But again, we have this thread resolved as "lack of experience". There is allot of driver training that needs to be taught in LA. You could use some charm school yourself.

So the point of this thread is to recall stupid/silly situations that featured persons of another race? Okay, but for what purpose? IMHO, it's a little immature or even rascist. Some will surely disagree due to their POV.

Is there an ethnic group we shouldn't make fun of? For structure and clarity, maybe we should start new threads and cover the bases.

White Drivers WTF? Are They Thinking?
Black Drivers WTF? Are They Thinking?
Mexican Drivers WTF? Are They Thinking?
Middle Eastern Drivers WTF? Are They Thinking?
Samoan Drivers WTF? Are They Thinking?
Norwegian Drivers WTF? Are They Thinking?
Jewish Drivers WTF? Are They Thinking?
Catholic Drivers WTF? Are They Thinking?
Mormon Drivers WTF? Are They Thinking?
Puerto Rican Drivers WTF? Are They Thinking?
Old Drivers WTF? Are They Thinking?
Porsche Drivers WTF? Are They Thinking?
New York Drivers WTF? Are They Thinking?
Gay, Lesbian and Transvestite Drivers WTF? Are They Thinking?
Red Neck Drivers WTF? Are They Thinking?
English Drivers WTF? Are They Thinking?
Mixed Breed Drivers WTF? Are They Thinking?
Neo Conservative Drivers WTF? Are They Thinking?
Left Wing Pinko Drivers WTF? Are They Thinking?

Equal opportunity I say.

Sorry if I left someone out (not overtly rascist).

Spin it how you like. "Agreeing with him IN PART" is quite a weaseling from the thread's overall accusation about Asian drivers. It reminds me of that phenomenon called "a little pregnant."

those are not in Cali... :D

Not sure why everyone is getting their knickers in a twist. We make many generalizations based on race - and a sufficient number of them are true. Some would call this being "descriptive".

I am not racist. I lived in Asia for years and have many Asian friends. But bad Asian drivers are a fact of life where I live. I believe - as I said - that this is largely because many of them have zero experience driving - and learn to drive in later life in a system that doesn't test their ability properly. That explains the the phenomenon here as far as I am concerned. It also explains why Asians in Asia drive very well - as many have observed.

So what's the big deal about a thread on this subject? There have been threads about far, far more ridiculous things.

Rick,
Listen to the spirit of a cross section of AMERICA.
What is this? Some of these folks are vacuous of reality! Maybe its painful? We as a nation, have become mentally incarcerated in a system of indoctrination that attacks the delivery and message of any racial dysfunctionallity and acceptance, if they don't happen to regurgitate some "Canned" social expectation. Question anything that exposes any type of weakness as a form of systemic weakness, we as a whole have followed Marx in a true socialist environment.. forget targeting a race or culture for their less than reasonable attributes or benefits to society. This thread really has surprised me. For anyone to state a societal anomaly strictly identified as an observation or a generalization because it is not inclusive of 100% of any given culture is less than worthy and I should be shamed.. This realization of American mainstream perception or observation has resulted to some sickening George Orwell prophesy. "You're not allowed. to think that way"...

BTW... 99% of the graffiti in LA is perpetrated by Mexicans..Period!
I don't like it, but I don't hate Mexicans. Is it possible that this is true? But, You folks say that I believe every Mexican is a vandal...

Please!

Programmed people in this thread believe from my last statement is racism. Dont be a marionette.. Pinocchio!

We are reasonable people and know this isn't true.
sorry about the ranting..I'm embarrassed that I shared this thread with some. I'm loosing a belief that most people think we can't be individuals emotionally and intellectually without being a social outcast.

I had greater expectations from some of you elitists

Why is it ok to make fun of women drivers . ..but not Asian women drivers?






What if she's driving a Sears Driving School car . . . with a torn-off gas nozzle hanging off? ...is it ok then? ...or can we only make fun of the 'student driver' part ...but NOT (under any PC circumstances can we) make fun of the FACT that she's obviously from Sears?

eerrrr..... wait . ...that's not where I was going with that. It's; that we cannot make fun of the FACT that she's obviously ripped a gas nozzle out of the gas pump. --"Those people" we should never laugh at, or make stereotypes about their ADD. No wait, was that it? Oh look, a freakishly tall something.

island911 07-19-2007 12:19 AM

Are stereotypes, called stereotypes because that way EVERYONE should know a gross generalization when they are slapped upside the head with one?

Q: If you are quick to stereotype a person as being dumb for using a stereotype, are you then being dumb for stereotyping a stereotyper?

Or are they called stereotypes because they don't yet have surround sound? And so, if an Asian doesn't have surround sound, is it still okay to make fun of her record collection?

Btw, why do whites have surround sound? They don't have rhythm. .. white men can't jump to the the rhythm even if they had some ....everybody knows it. . ..yet that seems okay.

Would someone look stupid if they corrected me by insisting that they do indeed know a white guy that has rhythm AND can jump?

Anybody that gets in a car can be an ********* given the right conditions, I've even proven this myself on rare occasions. I try not to be an ********* in the pcar though since it gets so much attention and I'm basically an introverted, anal retentive, compulsive dickhead about the car anyway.

This thread is really stupid!
