if someone wants to do me harm id rather beat the shit out of them then use spray. preference i guess. and i dunno where youre from but most people i know thats out of cali own guns in their homes and some carry them in there car. its just that cali has the stupidest laws on weapons. and especially with dumbass obama trying to take our protection away. but thats going off topic this isnt a discussion of politics :P

edit: ah checked. your a cali guy too. alot of californians arent too fond of firearms... but being exposed to different people from different states and such changed my mindset.

Don't take it as a way of me being racist its just how things look like here, but there are also cases where everyone gets along. Its more of a respect each other and understand each other's culture.

Unfortunately, some people here believe they are far superior than the other. I've also seen cases where I see older Asians bow and treat others with respect but the person receiving is simply fluffing up their ego and being incredibly disrespectful to that person.

LOL the majority of black people here are absolutely fine with being called black. Most prefer it actually, except the people who like to play the race card. So what you're doing is not racist, it is just a sociological perspective of OC. Some people say that stereotyping and generalizing is racism, but i disagree. I believe it's important to acknowledge our differences and accept them instead of denying we are different (people who claim to be colorblind) I feel like the only state that i wouldn't have to deal with racism is probably Hawaii. This is unfortunate because i was thinking about taking a road trip to CA up to WA. Now i feel like i probably have to arm myself before hand :/

Here are two schools that offer courses relevant to what @VesperLynn encountered.

1adsi.com "Our goal is to bring each participant to a highly proficient skill level in vehicle control and security awareness. Thus allowing them to react in an emergency situation and use the vehicle to its fullest potential while protecting the principal and themselves."

vehicledynamics.net "Our goal is to provide each and every one of our students with the knowledge, skill and ability they will need to survive potentially life threatening encounters while behind the wheel, from motor vehicle accidents to deliberate attacks."

Just be careful brandishing is a serious offense and can carry jail time! However police do prefer the gun to be visible in the car so on the passenger seat or dash just sitting there not in your hand is completely legal.

Im skinny and would get my ass beat if I tried to beat someones ass. I need a non lethal weapon than I can use from a distance that will take someone down with one easy shot.

Ahh defensive driving school. Always wanted to take a course like the high profile bodyguards and chauffeurs do.

FWIW I had a helluva time finding those. Search for "defensive driving school" results in an endless list of state-endorsed (online) programs for repentant traffic offenders. These schools, geared mostly for people working in the security and personal protection fields, are much more specialized and provide actual in-car training in scenarios like the OP encountered.

I've always wanted to do J-turns in a limo.

[OrbitalEllipses]

Eh, I'd probably just do Bondurant, Dirtfish, or something similar...but J-turns in a limo sounds awesome.

I get picked on a lot when I'm in Carson/Compton for school. Since there's only 4% asians in that school... I've been called a ***** and so fourth.

Anywhere where there is a small percentage of Asians we're most likely get picked on. Shit.. look at all these PETA videos. They blame Asians for being horrible people. Not just Chinese, Korean or Vietnamese but as a whole.

Same here - until the school or crowd found out I was awesome at basketball, kind of same situation as jeremy lin but obviously not as good due to my parents horrendous genetics in the height department. Somehow my name calling got upgraded from Jackie and Yao Ming to Bruce.

Moral of the story - pick something they like and be better at them at it.
