Esquire Magazine (Article On Drifting)

[Feint]

It is dangerous,you have a high probability of crashing.They aren't telling anyone to do it,they aren't telling anyone not to do it.By saying "leave it to the Japanese",they're saying that something like drifting could only be made in Japan.Sure that might not be right,but it's definitly not bashing them.The Japanese have a reputation for revolutionizing the most strange,bizzare,and unpredictable things in the world,this is one of them.

I found it pretty offensive actualy.

I did see it as a semi racist remark "Oh those crazy *Censored**Censored**Censored* japanese, all being the same and crazy"

I dont know if that was intended but its what i took from it. Also drifting is pretty safe when done on a track. Its pretty much as dangerous as conventional driving in the wrong hands on moutain roads.

Also as for the mean ol japanese people being rude to foreigners. Thats also a racist remark. I am sure there are japanese people who love foreigners and those who hate them. But as americans we are pretty damn rude to foreigners too. Wether they are here for vacation or to work or whatever. Besides considering Japan is one of our few friends we have left, lets not go around insulting them. I mean they are a hell of alot friendlier then the iraqis

let them say what the want. let the show what they show. it wont take anything away from the fact that drifting is hella fun and that there is nothing they can do to take the fun away from us. personally i say leave drifting to the japanese ( wink wink ) so that we can go back to buying drift cars for cheap. just my wtvr a stamp costs these days.

Isn't Esquire a girly magazine anyway? I can honestly say I've never even picked it up off the stand. Let them say whatever they want. Now if I saw something like this in the National Enquirer it would be a different story. Everyone knows they only report the facts. Like the WW2 bomber found on the moon, or the 700 pound newborn baby. The article would probably be something along these lines: Aliens discovered at newest motorsport event! and then slow some photoshop of some aliens running around in the smoke cloud behind Nomukens Skyline. It would be great!

That explains so much.Everyone is a lesbian in the National Enquirer.Seriously,everytime I goto buy SCC,I see the NE in the news stands with stupid headlines like "Hilary Clintons Secret Love Affar,What Bill Clinton Didn't Know". "Britney Spears Lesbian Love Affair On Vacation,Shocking Revelations".That or everyone is having a secret "Love Child".The worst part of all,this magazine rakes in more money beyond our wildest dreams.

that's funny, cuz I never really read the headlines but my gf's cousin is a lesbian. hahaha

You guys can make an argument out of anything cant ya.

[CrazyHawaiian]

Yes. I insist that they really did find a World War 2 bomber on the moon. And I saw the Giant Killer Bee that Deer Hunter killed with my own eyes! Its all true!! Didnt you see Men in Black??

[Ghost]

I believe in aliens...those are real...I wonder if they drift on other planets...

[CrazyHawaiian]

And I wonder if all the RWD Alien Drifters look down at the FF Alien Drifters. hahahahah

yeah some guys in my cousin's dorm threw some food at her friend in the dining hall because she was a foreign exchange student.... now how messed up is that just because they are foreigners.... and I for one know that some americans generalize and act in racist manners when they don't understand things showing that racism comes from ignorance and a willingness not to learn.
