why do asians have the reputation of not knowing how to drive? Me and my friends were driving to the mall today, and my friend who was driving was getting angry at the driver in front of her. so when we went to pass him up, she said,"Oh, he's asian. That explains it." And my other friend who is Asian was sitting in the back seat. just laughing about it. And my friend who was driving said, "No offence." And my asian friend said, "none taken. I know we can't drive." So do they like drive too slow or what? I don't get it.

The myth is that since asian eyes are small and slanted people think that they have limited vision, which is very dangerous when you are driving.

It is not a reputation it is a stereotype, How you ever been to an Asian country? Im guessing not, well if you will ever do I bet you wouldnt be able to drive over there, the traffic is herendous and chaotic yet most asians seem to be able to drive in it fine. Im sure you dont like stereotypes about african americans, so why put so much emphasis on this one.

I'm offended. but you know what if you go to Asian country you will be impresses on how they drive defensively there and without all the rules,and laws posted in billboards on the side of the roads like here in America, because most Asian drivers (I'm speaking for my own people FILIPINOS) is accommodating to each other and they have this silent understanding with each other and their courteous too.
I can say that most of my fellow Filipino that comes here and don't know how to drive it's because most individual there don't have car. majority of of people in our country rely on public transportation. so it's kinda weird when we come here and have to drive.

im asian. i live in bangkok. try living here, the traffic is.....like none other.
yet people, like sum1 bfor said,can drive properly.
how many times has that special friend of yours been behind an asian driver?
ppl in asia don't drive fast. or too slow. i guess its just the country difference and speed limits.....
but it IS kinda saying like "oh hes gay so he cant do this" "oh theyre african american so they can't play soccer"

nicely that is truthfully relies upon on the folk around them. I got here right here awhile in the past, and yeah advantageous there have been some human beings tried to bully me, yet you recognize, pals have been given me around. They weren't Asians the two, that taken aback me maximum once I took my first step right here. For the affection of God, in the adventure that your buddy is getting bully, and the instructor/theory won't do something approximately it, he have been given 2 alternatives. a million/ Sue those Mofo. in the event that they have family participants participants there, they might ask to bypass to the criminal expert workplace, communicate over with them and clarify the region. in the event that they got here across the data that the theory skipped over the guy because of the fact he's Asian, than he/she going to penitentiary. the student physique who beat up your buddy will serve in AP for awhile and bunch of communities provider. (This one is a volatile one considering the fact that those rednecks ought to get loopy and shoot him) 2/ deliver him to a relative to bypass to a diverse college. I advise the child does no longer prefer the U. S. citizenship on the instant considering the fact that he can not do lots with it. He can nevertheless get driving force's license, get marry, do regardless of he desires to devoid of one. playstation . that is lots greater valuable to visit an Asian ruled section. Like Houston or Calif. :) I stay in Houston.

"Oh, your friend is a woman. That explains it...No offence."
How does that make you feel? And sometimes, it's not that they drive slow. Sometimes, you drive too fast.
