Why are asian women such bad drivers?

Please no racial comments. This is strictly a human ecology and social science question.

>>>>>Please no racial comments

 

you mean except for the one in the thread title?  Are gender specific comments okay?

EXCUSE ME???? Asian men are bad drivers too. 

Squinty eyes?   

The British Army in the Far East seriously thought the Japanese were no threat at the onset of WWII in that theater because they believed their pilots couldn't fly straight because of their squinty eyes.   A few months later, the Japanese had overrun British controlled Malaysia and Singapore in what Winston Churchill called the "worst disaster" in British military history.

Some good old fashioned racism to start the day

As a resident of a city with a large population of Chinese people I can confirm this is totally true. I actually had a hilarious discussion with an Asian buddy some years ago about this, he talked about what a terrible driver his mom was

Otherwise they are delightful people, although some old ladies might push you out of the way to get on the 30 bus

White people having difficulty with rhythmic dancing and black people have a proclivity toward fried foods. Why are cultural differences frowned upon?

 

>>>>Why are cultural differences frowned upon?

Its generally ok to make fun of Euro-Americans because they have, by and large, historically enjoyed a higher level of privilege and power so joshing around about their cultural peculiarities it is not as hurtful.   The same is not true with historically disadvantaged populations.  Take your example of "black people have a proclivity toward fried foods."  It's true that culturally, black and other Southern culinary traditions do feature a lot of fried food.   But you also have to take into consideration that fried chicken has also gone hand and hand with some painful and insulting caricatures of black people.  Recall the scene in "Birth of a Nation" where the newly elected black legislators (many portrayed by white actors in blackface) are shown slovenly drinking liquor and feasting on fried chicken in the statehouse.   That hurtful stereotype is why its not cool for white folks to make fun of the black culture.​    

My wife was born in Japan. 

Is she a good driver?

I generally find that white people who have no multi-cultural friends, are the ones who are most sensitive to racial stereotypes. Bit of a paradox.

 

 

i live in the 3rd highest asian percentage county in the us.

it is true...

 

When I lived in Hong Kong in 67/68, always loved taking a rickshaw ride!

What about old Asian drivers?

What are the characteristics of a bad driver?

Based on car insurance rates, I've always assumed that young males are the worst drivers; however, I was never in an accident or issued a violation. 

 

 

Btw: as a more mature driver, I do feel that most reckless and unpredictable drivers around me seem to be young adult males.

Pays my ticket when I speed...

I work in an area that is populated with many well-educated Asians, and many are terrible drivers.

But then that same area is also populated with many wealthy white men in Tesla's, and they're terrible drivers as well.

And I work at a high school and usually park in the student lot. Many of those teens are also terrible drivers.

Ultimately I think almost everyone these days is a terrible driver.

>>> Ultimately I think almost everyone these days is a terrible driver. <<<

Oh yes, yes.

Agreed. Most of you people don’t know how to drive but I’ve managed to remain accident-free in spite of your collective cluelessness. 

Get it together. Learn how to drive. 

It's not racist when a particular gender and race conspire to be the worlds sketchiest drivers.. it's collusion! 

Yeah Timmy Hoover, she is a good driver.

I’d much rather share the road with overly cautious,  slow drivers than aggressive drivers who tailgate, speed and cut you off. 

 

Please, just don’t back into the parking space at Trader Joe’s and take an hour doing so. 

 

The stereotypes for Asian drivers might hold true for people who didn’t grow up driving cars, or emigrated recently from places like China where consequences for violating traffic laws are severe, and they’re constantly being monitored. Imagine if those red light cameras were on every fucking street corner how  it might effect the way you drive.

 

the worst drivers I’ve encountered are the old white retirees in Florida and the drunks in Las Vegas. Or just drunk drivers anywhere. And Boston drivers, my younger  sister who lives there included.

 

 

 

 

 

 

why are white people so racist?
