Here in the San Francisco Bay Area, we've had a saying for decades: "DWA." Most of you know that that means.
I saw a bumper sticker a couple years ago: "Caution: Asian Woman Driver"

I worked in the Michigan office for a New Jersey based company. One day an IT guy named jack Chiang was at the office. As he was leaving I asked him to drop me off st the shop to get my car.
He pulls onto the 50 mph road and I told him he needed to do a U turn. As cars are whizzing by, he just flat stops in the middle of the three lane road. He makes the U turn and proceeds to drive in the left lane at 30 mph.
When I got back to work I must have still been pale. They actually asked if I was ok.
I said “I’ve been nervous before, scared before. I’ve never been terrified before.”
I’ll never drive with a New Jersey Chinese driver again.
Thought we were following a drunk driver. Eventually the Corolla clipped a Honda in the adjacent lane. They both pulled over. As we passed the Corolla driver exited. It was an Asian female in her 20’s. Fully masked alone in her car with a fedora pulled down to her eyebrows. She probably was hypoxic. Talk about perpetuating a stereotype. For those who think I am some sort of “racist” my wife is Asian and she was laughing as hard as I was.
One of our younger male relatives in his early 50’s is one of the least racist people we know.
However, after riding bikes in Portland and the SF Bay area for decades, he is a firm believer in DWA.
He got an early inheritance of an OJ Simpson Bronco. He puts a bike in the back rack, then he drives a couple of miles to work. If the weather is good, he will drive the Bronco to private roads to ride his bike, during lunch hour or after work in the DST months.
After the ride during DST, he puts his bike in the Bronco rack and then drives home.
