Increasing the Stereotypes!

SO, I've been meaning to blog about this, but it kept slipping my mind. About a month ago (Ha, hella late) me, Scott, Kim, and Amanda all kicked it at stonestown mall. So we're trying to find parking on this typical school day and we're waiting on this one person to pull out of this parking. First let me note that she was driving a BMW, which would make her way more cautious. Anyways, this girl is trying to make a U turn in the parking lot so it'll be easier for her to exit, but for some odd reason she decides to take 6 months to make a 19 point turn. And we're all sitting in the car saying to ourselves "Who is this person, she's taking days" because at that point she was holding up traffic in every which direction. SO, finally she decides to finish her 19 point turn and grant us the parking spot. And when she's about to leave, I say out loud "I bet she's asian" and guess what! She is. -_-

So we're all sitting in the car discussing how everyone in the parking lot who saw her hold up traffic must be thinking the same thing. It's really a bad day when Asian Stereotypes are reenforced. That is why this is a message to us all, Let's make an extra effort to break away from that stereotype and be good drivers! Agreed? Agreed.

Just my two cents,

Vincent Santiago
