Race is irrelevant. I believe someone mentioned somewhere in this thread that there will no longer be races in a few more generations anyways. Defining races is a great way to separate yourself from your fellow human being.
I also feel that Nationalism and Culturalism tend to separate humanity. It is important to understand your culture in order to study it from a historical view, but no one should ever feel that one culture is better than another. Once everyone gets over race, religion, nationality, etc, we will have world peace (for about 10 min)
Life is tough......but it's tougher if you're stupid.

Most of those stereotypes that people talk about are based on culture, which means that for many, many individuals, they are true. Like, when my neighbor visited Ireland, he said that they really did drink a lot of beer.
Asians smart? Maybe in some areas the US, because it's only the smart ones that make it into the nice rural areas outside of Chinatown. I can attest to a few examples that dispute that one.
But as the world is getting more global, you race gives you a small part of your identity. The important thing, in my opinion, is to just be open-minded to the traditions of others.

Asian women can't drive
LOL
It's true for me, not true for all Asian women (like my mommy).
Hmmm.... I'm scottish/english and my closest friends are from China, Finland, Japan, England and Sri Lanka. Take that stereotypes xD
Misconceptions about ethnicity? I strongly dislike racism, but I'll laugh at a good race joke.

Which goes to prove, people who can't drive, can't drive. Nothing to do with race.

azn smarts!
They calculated the safest velocity, and they knew what degree to turn at every angle. They even know which roads are closely watched by cops, that they avoid them.
lol, no, they are smart in class, no where else. otherwise, they would be the top athelets too, calculating the exact angles and powers for perfect shots and etc XD

Ho ho. See right here proves the stereotype incorrect because Asian women supposedly drive really slow. But I guess as a New Yorker, if your not driving as fast as the road allows, you're going too slow. ^^;;
Looks like this thread has gone from race to racing.... 😀

Where I'm from, if you're not going at least 10 miles over the speed limit you're going too slow, as my Korean friend is constantly reminding me. I'm usually the one you'll find going the speed limit (which is slow), and I'm 1/4 Korean.

here too!! 10+ is the "standard"
I go 10 miles below the speeding limit, and I still turn so awkwardly.. I drive like the senior citizens.
