I guess your a minority then.
Like I said not to eveybodies liking, but you can still find certain jokes about the subjects funny, that doesn't actually make you a racist.
I have black friends that tell me black jokes, we all laugh about it, because we all know it's a joke, that doesn't mean I am a racist. If I were, then I wouldn't have black friends right?

Superb entertainment as ever.
It's "disappeared", by the way.
Carry on.

1) why do i feel that you are saying an indian fellow like you are any better than him as a human?
2) if he was a brit were you gona talk to him the same way?
3) what's wrong in explaining mistakes to others in a nice manner?
4) don't you think if you spoke to him nicely you was gona make him decide to change his mistake and have his face smiling rather than giving him a bad start at the day?
5) what's wrong with the head shake thingy if it is part of their culture? and why do you seems like making fun of it?
6) rather than just complaining and maybe insulting people or abusing others on the road or at trafic lights, have you ever though of doing something constructive like e-mailing the RTA about your concerns or trying to organize a civilized campaign for that purpose?

Spot on. Bison, that post makes you come across like a stereotypical pig ignorant and narrow-minded expat. Maybe one day in the future you'll realise that it's not big, not clever and rather like bullying it makes you a look and feel like a total arsehole....just a thought.

How do you know he wasn't Pakistani, Bangladeshi or Sri Lankan? According to RTA data, its our friends from Pakistan who cause the most fatal accidents in proportion to their population...with Indians the most numerous innocent victims, again in proportion to their numbers.
Surely you're not suggesting that Indians, Pakistanis, Bangladeshis and Sri Lankans all look alike.........?

Re: The Day The Skyscraper Dissapeared
I love a good joke based on, often racist or sexist, stereotypes personally...don't care which race. If it makes you laugh it was funny and at the end of the day it's only a joke.
No one should be afraid to laugh at cultural differences or similarities. We are all just people, often surprisingly similar.
