Sometimes it seems as if SOME Asians don't drive so good!

[Judge Smails]

<p>Someone had to say it.&nbsp; Now its out there.&nbsp; What are you gonna do?&nbsp; Before you call me a racist, consider that some stereotypes are stereotypes for a reason.&nbsp; I happen to be Italian and I wouldn't argue the fact that some Italian stereotypes rightfully apply to me.</p><p>But,&nbsp;to the prick who was in front of me on Route 18 today:</p><p><strong><font size="3">FUCK YOU!!&nbsp; FUCK YOU!!&nbsp; FUCK YOU!!</font></strong></p><p>First he's in the fast lane, in front of me, doing like 20 MPH and showing absolutely no inclinition of moving over.&nbsp; Then I finally move over to the center lane to pass him (which, on principle,&nbsp;I'm against having to pass on the right).&nbsp; Just as I'm about to pass him he decides to start moving over into my lane without signaling.&nbsp; I had to swerve into the right lane, cutting off a delivery truck who also had to slam on his brakes and swerve onto the shoulder, lest the cars behind him slam into his rear.&nbsp; Biggest scare I've had in a long long time.&nbsp; </p><p>The worst part is is&nbsp;that this fucker could have caused a five car pile-up and was completely oblivious to it.&nbsp; I pulled up next him at a light to see who this&nbsp;prick was and BINGO: sterotype reinforced.&nbsp; He was in his own carefree world,&nbsp;clueless to the fact&nbsp;that I was staring daggers at him and unaware of the havoc that he had wreaked.</p><span class="post_edited"></span><span class="post_edited"></span>

My chick and I went to San Francisco last year and we took a shuttle service to the hotel.&nbsp; The Driver was asian and he was the worst driver I have ever seen or been with.&nbsp; Every other person brought up the same point.

<p>I once worked at a store near a asian supermarket. My god the horrors of trying to drive through that parking lot.</p><p>They would have no problem stopping in the MIDDLE of the road to let their family out and wait there to see that they all(all 7 of them) get into the store unharmed. Then he proceeded to back up (Mind you I was behind the guy and had about 3 other cars behind me) I had to lay down on the horn...and the asshole was still backing up.</p><p>I did something that I never did again, was actually get out of the car and scream down the dudes throat. He looked at me like I was speaking a foreign language...well to him I probably was.</p><p>Later that day I saw the same guy get pulled over by the police...turns out he had no car insurance *shrug*.</p>

<p>I hate to be this way but I agree.</p><p>&nbsp;This ignorant older woman I used to work with stated one day: &quot;<strong>They have no peripheral vision, and THAT'S why they cant drive!!!!&quot;</strong> She also called Asian people &quot;orientals&quot; , I had to tell her that was not the correct term, Oriental was an inatimate object, like&nbsp;an oriental rug;&nbsp;and that the proper terminoligy&nbsp;is Asian(s). She hated me from that point on. She was smelly, so I had no problem with her keeping her distance. </p>

<p><strong>ADDENDUM TO MY ORIGINAL POST:</strong></p><p>Now I feel bad.&nbsp; Especially in light of the FBA is Racist thread.&nbsp; It was not my intention to go on a racist rant.&nbsp; I just had a horrible experience and was letting off steam.&nbsp; My point, which I may have failed in making, is that at times stereotypes can be reinforced at emotional times.</p><p>I'm not a racist.&nbsp; But I do realize that if this guy had been black or hispanic I wouldn't have titled my thread &quot;Blacks Can't Drive&quot;&nbsp;or &quot;Hispanics Can't Drive&quot;</p><p>Obviously, you can't say that&nbsp;ALL Asians can't drive.&nbsp; This particular prick happened to be&nbsp;Asian&nbsp;and that might have struck a chord with me because that stereotype is out there.&nbsp; But as I mentioned, these sterotype don't come out of the blue.&nbsp; I think that whether we&nbsp;want to admit it to ourselves or not we are all affected by them on some level.&nbsp; I wouldn't consider myself a racist but then again I did jump to that conclusion&nbsp;in the face of this situation.&nbsp;</p><p>I don't know what I'm trying to say other than I feel bad.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>As I mentioned I'm Italian.&nbsp; My first car was a TransAm.&nbsp; I had a gold chain with a gold &quot;Italian horn&quot; on it.&nbsp; I used to have spikey geled hair and wore Drakkar Noir cologne. I&nbsp;would go out every week with my friends to Strawberry's in West Orange.&nbsp; My family had a living room and dining room that no one was ever allowed to use.&nbsp; I've since come to my senses and moved beyond that point in my life.&nbsp; But if you want to call me a Guinie, Dago, and a Wop I won't take offense because it probably fits.</p><p>As a great 20th Century Philosopher once said:&nbsp; &quot;Can't we all just get along?&quot;</p>
