Chinese People
Honest question(s):

1. Why do they drive at 40 km/h then run red lights?
2. Why do they drive at 40 km/h then block intersections trying to fit in?
3. Why do they drive at 40 hm/h and line themselves up with other chinese drivers and block all three lanes?
4. Why do they assume you're honking at someone else?

Strikes me as racist.

An observation followed by an attack? Interesting.

I would say that these questions are based on simplistic stereotypes, and are pointless twaddle.

Here is a nice definition of racism taken from wikipeia:
quote:
Types of racism
Further information: Race (historical definitions)
In practice, racism takes forms such as racial prejudice, segregation or subordination (subjugation). Racism can more narrowly refer to a legalized system of domination by one ethnic group over another, such as in institutional racism. Racial prejudice refers to a pre-formed notion of individuals based on their perceived racial heritage. It involves hasty generalizations about members of a group based on the perceived characteristics of one or more members of the group. Generalizations include beliefs that every member of a group has the same personality traits, interests, language, culture, ideas, norms and attitudes.


So, there you have it. Your "hasty generalzations" are racist.

I know a chinese person that doesn't run red lights, doesn't block intersections and doesn't line up with other chinese drivers to block all the lanes.
