Ok, even if it wasn't implied as a racist comment, it certainly was a sweeping generalisation of a whole race's driving skills... which in my book is the same thing.
Bollocks
Africans are shit drivers full stop. To pass a driving test in most African countries all you have to know is how to start the car and change gear
Mirror, signal, manouvre is another language to them -

Just because your mixed race and your girlfriend is African does not mean you can't be racist . I'm not saying you are but your own ethnic background has no bearing on whether you are racist yourself.
Only mentioning this as my girlfriend comes home from work with stories of children blatantly being racist then saying a beilving that because they are ..insert non wight race .. they can't be racist. Someone has taught them that.

It's not racist as it isn't derogatory but I'd say it's narrow minded and inherently flawed.
You're basing an assumption on a persons skin colour. It's just silly.Em, I take your point but it's nothing to do with skin colour, the fact that the majority of African nations are black is irrelevant, Parisians are fucking woeful drivers but I haven't listed them cos they are obviously not in London and don't effect us

I love envious people the most, because they're green; which is really cool.
BTW Tommy, I was just being silly. I think the whole race thing is overdone, and that is despite the fact I've been on the wrong side of some racially motivated acts.

Postie vans - oh yes. Especially coming out of the Paddington sorting office.
Peds - particularly texting while stepping into the road.
Other cyclists - well really just the fucktard on brompton who caused my broken shoulder.
and the worst drivers are French Canadians. That is not a generalisation, it is a scientifically proven 100% FACT.

Yeah I know. I meant to add It's stupid because George Bush is wight but then thought it was political.
Personally I think everyone is racist in some way or form to some extent or another, it's just admitting it and realizing when your being racist and and not logical is very hard because chances are it will challenging some small belief that you have probably held subconsciously for years / a life time.

I don't really want to go all intellectual about this, but I feel its everyone's right to be predjudiced. Whether or not you are in a racial/religious majority or not, will allow for if your thoughts and acts can negatively impact on others. I'm predjudiced as all f*ck, but I really don't think I'm racist. Maybe only because I'm part of a minority? Were I of the majority set, would I be different? Probably. We'll never know.
In the meantime, I accept that if I'm in England, I'm part of the minority, but if I'm in the caribbean, then its totally different.

+1 to peds and bendy buses,
the first ones because don't think and cross infront of the buses where no one can see them, the second ones because the think they are the bosses of the road. I hate when they over take you, to poll after 50 fucking meters, why they can no wait 20s?, I can no belive they are always late and need to spped the all time.
I have to say, that my experience with black cabs is good, at leats to me, they see to be nice to bikes, maybe because the clock/money is ticking in is favour
