old asian women = worst drivers EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But since you're writing from Blighty are you in fact refering to elderly women from India/Bangladesh/Pakistan/Sri Lanka and Afganistan?

Took me ages to get up to speed with the fact that over here they call people of oriental descent asian and it really fucks the Pakistanis off that they get called Indian over here!

I was taught to drive by an Indian fella in the UK - nice guy - he said from his observation it was young Indian women in the UK that were becoming the worst drivers - very agressive and not watching where they were going.

Its all those Bollywood movies they've been watching - thinking its all a song and dance and if they drive really fast, they'll get to the next happy scene in their lives!

Pakistanies, Indians, what's the difference... (p/t)

Anyhow, what I was really shocked when I first came here was that some people call people from India, Pakistan, etc... asians.... I always only called those from eastern asia (Koreans, Japanese, and Chinese) asians, we call Indians, Pakistanis, and afgans middle eastern people. or most people just refer to the whole lot as indians. (I know it's un PC but that's just what they actually call them in Korea)

This thread needs some more arse.

[inlinefour]

hmmmmm, asians

My thoughts exactly. I have had several friends from these countries, sadly none like the ones that spank has provided as an example. Even they are to admit that yea there are some shockers within their race, but then again there are also the shockers within our own eh. Not much point tainting everyone with the same brush. Close minded people tend to do that...

Honestly, I hate the term. It's such a broad generalisation of people that it really is unhelpful for anything apart from gross generalisations, often derogatory and almost always wrong.

- Asians are bad drivers
- Asians have squinty eyes
- Asians are geeky math geniuses
- Asians know kung fu

Which Asian you talking about? Chinese? Japanese? Korean? North or South? Malays? Indians? Thai? Cambodians? Hmong? Shan? Karen? Khmu? Khmer? Indonesian? Indonesian Chinese? Dayaks? I could go on for awhile, but you get my drift... Each of those people groups have populations larger than the entire NZ population!!

I agree. I went to school with asians, studied at uni with asians and now some of my best mates at work are asian. I reckon people need to open their minds up a bit...

Nice thread Bend-it. My oldest friend came from Hong Kong when he was a lad of 5. We made fun of each other for ages before we realised we were becoming really good friends.
His funniest asian relations story came from a night out drinking that I'll never forget. We both had this mate called Daniel who you could make do anything if he was drunk enough. We started chatting up this story to Daniel that all chinese takeaways in NZ secretly sold cat on their menu as it was an asian delicacy and if he went in and asked, he would be served it.
We stood in earshot of the door to hear the fallout and couldn't believe our ears ..... When Daniel asked the very chinese looking takeaway counter hand if they served cat, he shot back in a very kiwi accent "sure mate, we serve anybody in here".
Suffice to say our laughter gave they game away and Daniel sulked all the way home.

Thats what we say along with other choice comebacks ... My olds have owned a chippie and chinese takeaway since I was a little nipper and seen our fair share of wags, abuse and lovely folk.

Other retorts :

"You serve cat?"
"Yes we do, make sure you take off your pet's flea collar and wash it first!"

"You serve flied lice?"
"Yes we do, would you like the side order of bear's paw and tiger penis?"

"You should give the fish for free since its ours under the Treaty of Waitangi"
"Yes its free for you, the $1.50 is for us processing and holding it for you"

"Why don't you go back to your own country?" <-- Caucasian
"Well mate, Great grandad got here in the 1800's...when did you lot land?"

"Ying chong ching chong"
"Fark! Didn't know you were the idiot from the other village! Only they talk like that!"

"So...is this authentic chinese food?"
"Mate, you wouldn't want our authentic chinese food! Go to some other chinese shop you've mistaken us for!"

"You don't look chinese"
"You don't look half as intelligent as you appear to be"

"Do you serve chinese?"
"No, they take all the shellfish, drive badly and force up house prices. Screw them!"

"Can I have some chinese?"
"Why not, try some caucasian, samoan, fijian, etc while you're at it!"

Yeah, my dad's hard case - always gives a serve when he serves Mum just ends up rolling her eyes

Went to Vietnam at the start of the year. Quite a few restaurants serving cat (a Chinese theory is that cat keeps you warm in winter). The poor things, hearing them meowing in a bag on a ferry really touched a nerve. We should just eat prey animals like cow. I like cow.
