Why do Chinese folk have so many stuffed animals in the back of their cars?
Is it a decoration thing, or to ward off evil spirits?
It should be illegal, as it may obstruct their rearviewmirror view of the road.
Which is why they have the highest rates of accidents?

Why are you sure they are Chinese? Do you know Chinese and a lot of other Asians share the same hair colour and complexion?
You are sure because they told you they were Chinese? Then why didn't you ask and preach them in the first place?
If you are referring to stuffed toys, I suppose it's a deco thing. I have never heard of a Hello Kitty casting away evil spirits........have you?
If you think it is illegal then you should report it to the local police.
Why are you sure a particular ethnic group has the highest rates of [traffic] accidents?
How can you tell accidents owing to Hello Kitty and Winni-the-Pooh at the back? You cross-examined Hello Kitty and Winni-the-Pooh?
If you want to ask a question, make it an educated one. If you want to make a racist statement, back it up with evidence.

I'm not sure. I'm Chinese, and I have no stuffed animals in my car and a perfect driving record for the past 10 years.
But Asian people are really into cute little knick knacks. I think it's almost part of the culture. Even with standards of beauty -- in America, guys usually go for the "sexy" look in girls, whereas Asian men tend to go for the "cute" look.
Go into any typical China town gift shop, and what you'll find are tons of little cutesy decorations, porcelain knick knacks, and stuffed animals, right next to the nunchucks, throwing stars, switch blade knives, and swords. Odd combination, huh?

I think the Japanese are the worst drivers. I have never seen any hard data though. I live in a burb of NYC and they are all over the roads. Especially the Japanese women.
