People ask stereotypical questions out of a fustration of particular or general habits of a majority of the members of a racial, religious, or any other group. And seek to change it somehow by bringing it to public attention. By the way it is a culture among many Southern Blacks to eat fried chicken, but not all blacks, and maybe thats how someone got the idea that maybe all blacks like fried chicken, because they grew up around Southern blacks that liked chicken, and didn't realize that this is a part of the culture of only Southern Blacks. We as humans are born ignorant and life is a journey of becoming more and more wise, and Yahoo Answers is a wonderful way in which all humans can come together by sharing knowledge to get rid of all the ignorance that leads people to get in conflict with others.

I think those are valid questions. Anyone who wants to develop a deeper understanding of other humans should ponder the source of stereotypes.
You mentioned Asians and driving: In Vietnam, there are no traffic lights at intersections. Everyone just manages to get around each other and not crash. Anyone who knows anything about Asian culture, is aware that thought and, therefore, action are not linear, as in Western Culture. In America, we drive by following the lines and have rigid traffic flow. It's possible that some Asians have not been able to adapt to functioning that way.
Sorry, I can't tell you why black people eat chicken. I'm guessing it's similar to the reason Mexicans eat beans.

The questions that get 100 and forty solutions are in a large number of situations a gaggle of human beings attempting to get common factors. each and every of the solutions are literally a similar, and/or do not require a range of of idea.

Even I wonder, but I just ignore such questions, Never answered such questions. Because it is useless and meaningless to convince them.

Because people want attention. They're bored and have nothing better to do with their time.
