Aww man I am sorry to read that. I haven’t seen it personally; sorry you have. Where are you located where being Asian and into cars got you slurs? That is uncool.
It was Indiana at the time, as far as getting cars and racism getting mixed together in one experience for me. These days I'm in Texas, but haven't engaged too much with the car culture here yet.
Edit: btw, sorry for my tone in my previous comment, I was honestly getting pretty worked up going through the comments in this post.
All good. I am genuinely here just for cool desktops and probably shouldn’t have engaged at all as it just distracted from that.
I think what is interesting about online communities is how little impact they have in the real world, yet there is a feeling of impact.
For example, whether rice is in or out, will have no bearing on what happened to you or may happen again, which makes me sad.
Any chance of making a lasting change by winning hearts and minds is lost in a sea of win at all cost hyperbole. Real stories always matter my friend. Hopefully Texas is more chill for you.
