It's an ASIAN thing??? (long)

[book-ends]

Okay,

So I was in my local Subway here in Littleton, CO and I got into this confrontation with one of the guys that worked there. He was driving a Civic with a bodykit and he tried to bust my chops! He noticed that I was driving a 240 and the only thing you can really see by looking at it is that I have a Sparco seat. He rightly assummed that it had some other modifications and proceeded to tell me that he didn't understand why "whites" modified IMPORT cars; because, as he put it "it's an Asian thing".

Now, this comment is riduculous on so many levels that I had to respond. My initial reaction was to ask him what his heritage was and he replied that he was Korean. So I say:

"Technically, isn't it a Japanese thing? I mean, you're Korean and you drive a Civic, what's up with that? Shouldn't you be modifying that Korean hotness? Since I'm white and I shouldn't be toying with a Jap import, I can only assume that you think I should be adding NOS to a Camero right?"

He blinks at me and then says that Asians are the ones that started the whole import scene and he hates to see "people like me" driving around. Again, I ask:

"That may be the case, but you specifically targeted me for being Anglo and driving a foreign made automobile. However, you're Korean and driving a foreign made automobile. Are you telling me that I can't drive a 240 because I don't LOOK Asian? Just because you LOOK Japanese, doesn't mean that you should be driving a Civic......if your argument holds water. After all, you just implied that the nationality of the driver is the sole reason for the automobile selection. If you're white, you drive a Camero or Mustang, if your Japanese, than any of the Japanese marks, if your KOREAN than you should be driving a Daewoo, not a Civic."

His response: "I'm Asian, so I can drive any Asian car."

So anyway, I had a good time talking to this guy. He was only seventeen or eighteen (I assume) whereas I'm 25. I could have drilled holes in his logic all day, but I was hungry. I'll be sure to eat there again because, as you know, at Subway you WATCH THEM MAKE YOUR FOOD...............no chance of "special sauce" if you know what I mean!

[scruffy63]

LOL thats crazy. Well I'm black and I have a 240 so I guess I'm driving the wrong car also. So according to my heritage what car am I supposed to be driving?

some people are just crazy...

[G3tMyDrift]

What a tool, I am Chinese and I am driving 2 jap cars. Who really care's who drives what as long as you like the car.

[book-ends]

That's what I'm saying!! I really couldn't believe this guy! For a minute I thought that it was fake, like a TV show or something! Whatever........

[gabossie]

I'm white, but my heritage is Norwegian, Dane, and German... does that mean that I can only drive European cars? lol... some people are such tools.

[G3tMyDrift]

The rice quote of the week is definitly "I'm Asian, so I can drive any Asian car."

[180fan]

You should have slapped that idiot for me for saying such a stupid comment. That loser's setting back Asians like 20 years with his numbnut comments like that. Kinda like Mike Tyson and how every time he talks, he sets the African American cause back like 10 years. lol

[KDashy]

Haha crap, I'm Chinese.

But I would've been into 240's no matter what my nationality was.

[Axel Grungy]

oh crap im italian, guess i have to drive a lambo or ferrari now....ahhh crap

[Radian]

Did he work there?You should report him to a manager for being an idiot and saying racially offensive remarks to you.

[GEO]

lol radian, thats childish. And for the black guy... You should be riding around a Landrover or what do they ride around the saferi's and **** in africa?

[Kaioshin1982]

AHHHH but if your asian like me and you roll up in a IROC Camaro..... THEN people will look at you funny hehe

I used to get looks all the time

[NoStickers]

Well I did see an Asian lady peeking over the steering wheel of a new vette and I have never seen that before to tell you the truth.

[wangless]

hahahah wtf ?!

i am now ashamed to be an asian

[G3tMyDrift]

I know someone who is Indian driving a camaro ss.

[AsianPersuazi0n]

[Dattebayo]

So, I'm Irish, and i should be driving a potato and scruffy63 should be driving an elephant.

[wangless]

HAHAHAHA

[GEO]

Well I see it as, a domestic car is a large car usually. NO OFFENSE to anyone but usualy asian ethnic people are usually not as big (height wise) as the American ethnic culture. Thus, asians don't like driving the big hotrod mobile and rather a small car where they can feel in control. Ya know what I mean?

[Dattebayo]

I'll drift my potato right into your hotrod and we'll see who's in control.

[180fan]

hahahah wtf ?!

i am now ashamed to be an asian

dude you should never say that just cuz of some loser.

[scruffy63]

I bet my heavy elephant could beat all your cars.it may be heavy and have 0 handling capabilities but it has lots of hp......wait a minute my elephant sounds like an american car:)

[zombieman]

that korean dude has major issues.... since he implied import.... i think he means non asian can't fixed up european cars either....

i'm pretty sure 1 out of every 1000 asian think only asian should fix up asian cars. and i'm not one of those asian who think this way either.... being asian, i do get a whole bunch of racist asian mofo telling me my ride is cool and think it's only a asian thing; bringing to the point of what this whole subject is about.

[Nismo_yo]

Ahh your in CO too, what were the cross streets on that subway? i have an asian friend who works at a subway towards that side of town, if its him he'll get a good slappin . heh, if i was drivin what i was suppose to then id be driving a Lambo with 12 inch wheels and hydraulics *cringe*

[Morph]

So, I'm Irish, and i should be driving a potato and .

Soooo wrong man we should be driving a pint a Guinness. Dude if i were u i would of grabed him by his shirt pushed him against the wall and asked him to repeat what he said one more time if he wants to be a part of his car.

[sleepyRPS13]

[el5y]

[nlzmo400r]

oh crap im italian, guess i have to drive a lambo or ferrari now....ahhh crap

me too....hmmm, ferrari . On a more serious note, that guy did sound l ike an *******. I think its so stupid when race and religion gets involved. Thats one of the things i LOVED soo much about cars. It seems car guys come in white/black/hispanic/catholic/baptist and EVERY KIND OF RACE AND RELIGION and all got along with no problem. Guess i was wrong, its a shame some people are like. I bet he woulda flipped if he saw u drifting

[Morph]

^^ then he'll stab you, his excuse he attacked first.
