I was run off the road on the Tonkin going 100+kmh a week or so ago, by a twit who couldn't be bothered to look to the right before changing lanes. I came within a metre of wrapping my car around a concrete pillar, a very high chance it would have been killed. The funny thing is that as I was overtaking him I saw that the whole side of his car was smashed in and I thought "this guy clearly has hit another car in the side, probably changing lanes". The fact I was looking so closely at his car was the one thing that saved my arse, because I saw his side indicator flick on a second or two before he yanked into my lane, and I was already hitting the brakes as I swerved off the road into the sand.
When I caught up to the bloke I was angry enough tosmash him, but he seemed most apologetic and I decided to let it go.
I was not at all suprised that he was Asian.
The stereotype that all asians are shitty drivers has been created by the fact that there are SO fucking many bad asian drivers on the road. Are they all shockers? Oh course not. But from my experience and the experience of most others, it is a stereotype based on a good chunk of fact. It is SAFER to assume the Asian driver next to you is a danger than to let him kill you and only THEN accept that the stereotype is there for a reason.
So why is it so wrong to apply the same stereotype to Abos? A vast percentage of the crime committed in this city is by them, and beating trhe shit out of people - and each other - is so commonplace in their culture that it is virtually a given that the aboriginal you see on the street is a fighter. As my lady said today, if she sees a group of ANY guys coming towards her on a Saturday Night in Northbridge, she is automatically put on edge, but only abos inspire the same level of trepidation and instinctual dangerwhen confronted in broad daylight in the suburbs. The logic behind this is that alcohol and drugs will make people in groups far more dangerous, and only a group of abos is likely to be shitfaced on piss or smashed on solvents at 10AM on a Tuesday morning. Add to that the culture of parental neglect, defiance against authority and insulation from prosecution, and you have an explosive cocktail just waiting for a match. Any match.
It matters not one jot that the problem is caused by bad parenting, problems with piss and drugs and all the other excuses. The reality is that the Stereotype exists for a reason, and no matter how hard we may try to deny it, it is safer to keep that stereotype in the front part of our brains. It just might save your life one day.
Or don't. You wanna get bashed its your business.
