Prejudice
"Are you prejudiced?" asks StapMyVitals. Have you been a victim of prejudice? Are you a columnist for a popular daily newspaper? Don't bang on about how you never judge people on first impressions - no-one will believe you.

Car Accidents
I've lived in London for about 4 years now and I have noticed a trend...
Every car accident I have witnessed, or at least seen the aftermath of, involves at least one driver who is black/afro carribean/african, however you put it. Now this can be attributed to one of three assumptions in my mind...
a) There are so many black people in London that statistically, at least one of the crashees has to be black.
b) Black drivers are not very good, and hence are involved in accidents to at least a 50% ratio.
c) Black drivers are picked on by other London drivers, to the point that at least 50% of crashees are black.
Having seen 3 accidents in the last couple of days, all 3 involved at least one black protagonist and 2 of which were in car parks and involved a single moving car... I might swing towards one of those conclusions, especially considering that my car was one of those struck, surprisingly violently... and the driver refused to give me anything other than his mobile number, so Police were called and surprise surprise, NO insurance... so we'll be getting a quick payout there then... Fucking Twunt.
It's only a theory mind.
PS I'm not going to try and justify my multicultural background and leanings. It's b3ta for starters, we're all smart fuckers here. God I hope that last bit is actually true :0$

My wife used to work in a suburb called Runcorn
it is in Brisbane.I used to regularly take her to work on my motorbike. At least once overy trip, once I got within a few k's of that suburb, we would need swerve, brake violently or accelerate to avoid an asian killing us with thier car. Is there any scientific evidence that they have poor eyesight? Is it that they just dont care? Can someone please do a government funded study?

Because that's what we need more of...
... government-funded studies.
If you hate everyone, it's not prejudice.

You should have thrown plates at his head until he agreed to beat the dents out of your Accord personally.

Obviously...
... it's not true to suggest black people can't drive as well as others. However, it may also be true that some of the people you witnessed took their driving tests in other countries where the tests may not be as stringent as in the UK, or where the driving rules may be sufficiently different. As a London driver, that's my experience. Then again I used to live in Brixton, where it is frequently difficult (when walking) to avoid being stuck behind large African ladies (in full regalia) who move very slowly down the middle of the pavements, ignore you when you ask them to move or excuse yourself so you can pass, and tut loudly if (when) you eventually push past. This mentality may also explain their behaviour on the roads. Or maybe that's my prejudice...
