Sorry about your accident. You weren't being "racist" what you did was Stereotype a whole ethnicity. I for one find it Insulting (I am white). My wife is of "Asian" ethnicity and had been driving for 30+ years and never been the cause of an accident.
Just because your wife hasn't been the cause of an accident doesn't mean she knows how to drive. Honestly, 99.999999999% of Asians I have come into contact with don't know how to drive. I don't understand how 99% of 1 billion all can't grasp the concept of driving but they can't and it's rather remarkable. Stereortypes are stereotypes for a reason... because they are for the most part, true...

I understand you being all pissed off about you're accident, any of us would be to. But that's no reason for making those comments.
They are the nicest people.

Looks like a good time for zl1 front end, vented fenders and aftermarket hood as for the "racist" comments, on the east coast no one can drive....

Well sir, for one thing, you are most definitely a racist for stereotyping an entire race.

But that aside, by your reasoning, since you post your location as New Jersey, and 99% of NJ folks that I've met were very angry and very bad drivers, you too must be a very bad driver. Since you also seem to place quite an importance on stereotypes, and NJ drivers are stereotyped as being among the worst, it must be true. After all, as you say "Stereortypes are stereotypes for a reason... because they are for the most part, true..."

Plus, let's back this up with this small link http://usnews.rankingsandreviews.com...-U-S-Live-in-/
which shows that according to US News that you must indeed be among the group of worst drivers in America. Congrats.

Edit:
PS: Here's a funny comment on the US News Site. "I'm military currently stationed in the armpit of America: New Jersey. As someone who is driven in several other states and countries, let me tell you, they are absolutely the worst drivers. I was in Asia before this assignment and they're better drivers than people in New Jersey." Just found it ironic.


Disclaimer: This doesn't truly represent my views on NJ drivers. Just pointing out that the silly OP's reasoning is inherently flawed.

More stereotyping, in a more friendly manner albeit.

Even though Im from NJ, I agree with you 100% that NJ has the WORST. I seriously have no idea how 50% have the right to drive to be honest. Everyone ive encountered has no idea how to stay in lanes without swerving horribly from side to side or paying attention to the cars around them.

avoiding the Somerville circle at all costs is usually the best thing to do

I disagree with that assumption, but I do agree that there are many careless drivers on the road.

You guys take life too seriously. I'm not a racisit, I hate everyone. I hate PA drivers because they don't know what the left lane is, I hate Asian drivers because every single one of them I have ever encountered in my 8 years of driving have been completely awful, and I could go on. I have not driven in that many states but how NJ got the designation of being the worst I don't understand but perhaps it has to do with all of the idiot PA drivers coming into the state. And it wasn't the Somerville Circle, I very rarely go through that horrendus circle. It was the Flemington Circle where 202/31/12 all meet. The guy was coming from I assume 31 around to get onto 202N and he has a yeild but decided he didn't want to wait the .3 seconds it would have taken for me to pass him and instead pulled out right in front of me.
