Seriously though, it's kinda funny that they are making fun of themselves. Embracing the shitty Asian driver stigma.
Except clearly they do not see it as a form of self-mockery :concentrate:

CTV replied to my email, thanked me for providing an interesting explanation about the stickers :badpokerface: would be cool if they mentioned this alternate stance on the stickers in tonight's Steele on Your Side.

He's just trying to drum up business.

Repairing your mostly plastic car from fire damage, I would imagine has to be extremely profitable...

Spoiler!

Or that seems to be the case. Many Chinese people I personallyknow are fine with the signs.
I'm white and I don't find it offensive at all. I just laugh all the harder because to me it's like putting a big sticker on your car that says, "I FUCKING SUCK AT DRIVING STAY THE FUCK AWAY".

1. Parody law
2. Self mockery

Do people not understand this any more?


It's not like Chinese cars are "tagged" with a "C Sticker" by a 3rd party.
Anybody who does even a modicum of research knows it's self mockery.



It's like this, but in sticker form.

I should be offended, but I can't care any less.

Chinese people have better things to worry about.

if an asian uses this on their car, they're being funny.

if a white person uses this on their car, they're racist.

lol.


the other day on the west side, a red light made some cars block an ally way (i was going from ally to ally, and had to cross a road).

there was just enough room for my car to squeeze through behind, this middle aged white dude in a white convertible bmw with the top down and some other car. so i squeezed through and went on my way, but before i got to the other ally, he turned and yelled at me "WATCH WHERE YOU'RE GOING CHINK!!!"

and i rolled down my window and yelled back "GO FUCK YOURSELF!".

He immediately replied "WHAT?" as if he didnt expect a reply. and his passenger started laughing. cuz he couldnt get out of his car or turn around or do anything as i drove off. his face was all red lol.

lol i just had to share that.

Repped for a good non racial reply to a racist remark.

-sounds like the driver of the BMW convertible was not only racist, but having a big bout of road rage.

He needs a "R" decal (racist) on his ride. Mid life crisis is getting to him. :troll:

Ulic Qel-Droma 03-20-2015 12:44 PM

Krayzie135 03-20-2015 02:47 PM
