Stereotypes on asians that drive import racers

Do you people drive import cars for fun or to show off? Its funny how society thinks that people who drive import cars are considered speed racers, drug dealers or street gangsters. I hate the way that whites say that asians act or look like gangsters because of those cars they drive.

As soon as you hook up a normal car like a import racer, cops and people will stereotype you as gang members , drug dealers or people with low attitude.

I bet if import racing didnt come to the scene, then most asians who drive those cars wouldn't be look down upon or referred to as a street thug.

I mean, cars are something to get you from point A to point B. some people told me not to put money into your car, since the car's value goes down once you take it out of the car dealership's lot.

God sake, i hope they don't make us asians the bad guys..make us the good guys..

well they basically made the asian guys bad guys in the first one, so why not the second one???

Yea, plus they made the korean guys use vietnamese last names...which is also bad, cus it made the vietnamese people look bad.

Also, that scene with the FBI busting down the korean house was very disturbing. Why the fuck did they point that fucking gun at that little girl's head? Thats fucked up.

And they did this while those two characters were having sex in the garage....argh.

even with some decals..you're considered a racer. Cus it gives off that race car look.

no i meant in the 50's and 60's when they were running domestics and drag raced in their slick greasy hair.. i bet they were getting as much shit as people are today.. thats what i meant. i mean isnt that what you're really complaining about.

I mean ...get this..

Picture a asian kid driving a import racer or maybe a honda civic SI with some decals...what impression will a white person have upon that kid? probably think hes some gangster or drug dealer.
