I think that people make generalizations, (or stereotypes if you like), about people all the time and those are perpetuated in the media. I have heard stand up comedians make jokes about the the driving habits of Asians. The Simpsons had a convenience store that was run by an east Asian. I make my generalizations about drivers based on what they drive. Volkswagen drivers tend to drive fast, Chevy pick up drivers are red necks who think that bikes don't belong on the road and try to intimidate, gravel haulers all hate bicycles on the road and don't slow down or move away etc. Now I know it is NOT true in all instances, it just so happens that when I am out on my bike, I "watch out" more for these vehicles. Google Asian drivers and you will be appalled at what turns up.
