Is this a JOKE?

This is why Jalopnik is losing readers.

I guess black people have good taste.

It's a valid question, one that has plagued honkeys for years.

Why aren't black people driving electric cars?

Humor aside, I'm slightly offended by this article.

Why aren't white people driving Escalades? 

Why do Asians always drive Japanese or Korean cars?

Because my friend: sooner or later most stereotypes prove to be closer to the truth than most people want to admit.

The tone of the article using stereotypes of "Escelades" and slang made me mad. Then the idiot commentators claim that they can confirm a stereotype because they've seen black people before.




Even so, my cousin has a 3rd Generation Prius. (I'm black, if you didn't know)

Why do all Indians drive Camrys with gold trim?

Yes, I knew.

Notice the qualifiers in my statement: they aren't absolute truths, but they do tend to be statistically viable trends; which make them decent questions that any serious marketer should ask.

I agree with you about the tone of the article though.

[S204STi]

I didn't realize that those negro folk were even allowed to drive.  Now that's offensive.

[Eye of the Tiger]

Oh, and whoever wrote that article is a moron on multiple levels.

Did you never see "Driving Miss Daisy?"

[Laconian]

It's Jalopnik. They're retards.


Because racecar. HURR

4/3 Mini Cooper owners are furries.

Bullshit asshole, there's no room for fursuits in Minis.

Oh sorry I meant Accent

[Soup DeVille]

Bullshit asshole, there's no room for fursuits in Minis.

Not all of them take up that much room...

[Laconian]

Needs moar udders.

[Eye of the Tiger]

I'm not a big cow fan, but I can certainly appreciate that

[S204STi]

Did you never see "Driving Miss Daisy?"

Yeah wasn't that the one about a white woman driving her servant around?

[Soup DeVille]

Needs moar udders.

Dude, you've got more issues than Newsweek.

[ifcar]

"First and foremost was the concern about the overall cost of the vehicle.  A 2011 Prius ranges from $23,225 to $30,700 while a 2011 Honda Insight will run you around $23,000 well-equipped. Even with the $7,500 federal tax credit, these vehicles are not exactly priced to move. "

They're not eligible for any tax credit. Not only does the article make several logical stretches, but it presents a fair bit of material that's just factually wrong.


Moreover, I think I'd like to see the breakdown of hybrid ownership by income/economic class rather than by race. I'll bet the distinctions, despite the handful of entertainer outliers, will greatly diminish.

Why do Asians always drive Japanese or Korean cars? 

Fresh-off-the-boat Japanese won't drive Korean cars, and most fresh-off-the-boat Koreans won't have anything to do with Japanese products.

Better question is why Asians always drive so slow.

A very good question.

We were discussing this article at work today. We deemed it slightly offensive, and none of us are black.

I'd think you guys would have been more offended about the insult to journalism.

[93JC]

And rarely ? if ever ? have we seen a basketball player, hip-hop artist, actor or other Black folks of means stepping out of a Chevy Volt.

I haven't seen any person of any means stepping out of a Chevy Volt except GM executives at auto shows.

hahaha, good point.

Why is it important that you guys aren't black?

[Soup DeVille]

Why is it important that you guys aren't black?

It proves that they're SENSITIVE white guys, that's why.

They even have a few black friends.

But not the kind with the droppy pants.

Bigger question: exactly why aren't any of Teuton's co-workers black?
