What are you seeing that I’m not seeing to the same degree? We’re talking about subconscious biases here. I am aware the one city I visited does not represent a whole country, but being a large city, likely has significant representation in extranational communities. I do not assume a particular vehicle has a particular driver. All I assume is when someone drives unpredictably in sight (in comparison to the rest of the driving culture present), they’ll be just as unpredictable when I’m near them. Like, I’m trying to keep growing here and try to talk about why racial stereotypes often “feel” correct. I don’t see it as any different than judging your own race from a different region - for me, that’d be rude NYC people vs slow southerners or optimistic coastal Californians. I’m only talking about mannerisms that unintentionally get construed as racial.
