Does this joke piss you off? Why would it? If it does you need to lighten up.

I'm Chinese and not offended at all but the joke is stupid.

Just to enlighten my fellow Asian-Americans or other curious parties:
Paraphrasing from Timothy Fong's Monterey Park: The First Suburban Chinatown:
The myth of Asians as bad drivers arose from the city of Monterey Park (my hometown).
Often derided as the Accident capital of the World in the lates 70s and 80s, the number of
accidents was disproportionately high in the city due to the traffic from the 710, 10 and 60
freeways spilling onto the local streets that cause more local accidents.
Because Monterey Park is an Asian majority city, the accidents were of course blamed largely
on the local residents.

In short, this is the myth that continues today. Story time over 🙂

Apologies to RalphKradem for hijacking the thread 😀

I don't agree with this. I've never even heard of that area (as I live on the East Coast), yet it's known over here that Asian drivers are pretty bad. I know it's not PC to say this, but have you ever considered the possibility that Asians perpetuate the reputation by not driving well?

You've got to be kidding me.

Seems fine to me...and funny....I think people get worked up about stuff too much sometimes...as long as it's not directly offensive then I think it's okay.

It's like jokes about Bush....some people get really cheesed because he's the US president, the vid of Bush & Blair singing "My Endless Love".....HILARIOUS!
