stereotyping

renne's accusation: why do you always stereotype every single driver under the sun and say they're all retarded? you're being unfair to a lot of them.

my defence: i used to ride, sister. ride. if i didn't treat all drivers with the same degree of suspicion and hostility i'd have become a statistic long ago, and you'd probably have only one brother right now. it's the only reason i'm still alive. besides, i only stereotype singaporean drivers as retards, not all under the sun.

excerpt from the straits times (tuesday, 21 oct 2008). from a certain individual who has driven in a few foreign countries: "singaporean drivers are probably the worst drivers in the world, especially those with a kiasu (hokkien for afraid to lose) mentality."

so i'm not alone in my stereotyping, and in any case it happens to be the truth. unlike some, i don't do bullshit.

conclusion: i stereotype, therefore i survive.
