A Certain talkback radio announcer said that asians cannot drive cars.
WHAT about little old ladies and 17 year olds?

It's interesting how you can't make ascertations towards a particular race without being called a racist. I'm not a fan of him at all, but surely free speech is still allowed.

I have a similar opinion to the announcer based on personal experience working in carparks. 9/10 asian drivers that I come across are a hazard in carparks...personal experience. You nearly have to jump on their bonnet before they see ya. Generally they can't follow clear concise directions. Next I'd say the female elderly, then male elderly, then the younger drivers who speed in carparks...

So call me racist, call me sexist, call me ageist...

I take what you say on board but this particular radio announcer thinks he is some sort of God and can say what he wants in as arrogant and offensive a way as he chooses.
I had the misfortune of having to work with this pig some years ago and his attitude to anything that he does not agree with is that he has a right to put it down as harshly as he likes and there are no repercussions.
This was more of a statement about arrogance.

So it's the person at issue here, not the comment?.

Yes. Nobody, even in the light of freedom of speach should have the bad manners to so publicly put down others as if he is perfect.
I have no idea why anybody even tunes in to this idiot.
Probably a bit like a tongue poking at a sore tooth. You do it to see how painful it is.

Not sure which talkback host you are refering to but we are in very difficult territory if some people are allowed to say something and others are not. That could become a particularly nasty approach to censorship.

The same generalisation was made regularly regarding asian drivers on Fat Pizza.
