Really, Asians, really?

I come from a US state that has a crazy number of Asians. Real Asians. Chinese, Japanese, Korean, etc., not these fake Asians that they have in the UK (Indian, Pakistani, Afghan). And I’m from a pretty Asian family- dad is Thai, stepfather is Chinese, and I’ve grown up around enough inner-China Town back alley restaurants to feel pretty down with the Asian crew. Plus I have squinty eyes.
So I feel I have legitimate cause to confirm that the majority of female Asian drivers are useless. Utterly, dangerously useless. And before, I thought this was a problem that only affected US Asians.
Surely things would be different across the pond? Surely, put a female Asian on a bike and they will at least know how not to kill the person behind them, right?
WRONG!
The other night I had the severe misfortune to be behind a female Asian biker who did everything in her power to kill both herself, me, and the cars that were trying to safely avoid her. She was slower than Jabba biking along a busy car choked road, and I couldn’t pass her because of all the cars passing us. Then she would randomly slow down on places like downhill descents. She had issues with biking to the far left and kept wobbling out into the middle of the road, much to the panicked alarm of the cars who were trying to avoid her. Then, as I was stuck behind her, she decided to STOP at a green light and GET OFF HER BIKE. IN. THE. MIDDLE. OF. THE. ROAD. !!!!!!!! Why? Because she was turning LEFT in a country where everyone drives on the left. No hand signals, nothing to indicate what the hell she was doing, other than attempting to cause a murder suicide.
Seriously, female Asian drivers, you have it bad enough in the US, but why you gotta solidify that stereotype in the UK now as well? And this time, ON A FECKING BIKE?!?!
