Hispanic Road Rage?
Find answers to your legal question.





Hispanic Road Rage?

In the past two years of living in the Southwest, I have experienced random road rage three times.....all by older Hispanic males. Just a few days ago, I was driving my white Jeep only to have yet another older respectable-appearing Hispanic driving a new SUV make gestures and cuss me out. Out of curiosity, I followed him to a parking lot only to have him jump out, continue cussing me out and speaking nonsensically. For the life of me, I can't figure out why. I have nothing on my car, drive safely, and I'm just a 30ish clean-cut white Joe-American. Can anyone offer an explanation?

Something obviously happened to tick him off, whether you did it or not, but then you stalked him, so you asked for the second rant. You should have just let it go. I don't take kindly to people following me, either, I tend to drive to police stations, not parking lots when I think I am being stalked.

what the hell is random road rage? it makes about as much sense as Hispanic Road rage.

Road rage is road rage. But maybe you bump into Hispanics more because of the area you live in.

hahahaha...

were you starring at him?

"lalaland" is on to something: when I was in Albuquerque 30+ years ago, my friends warned me "DON'T stare at people when you're driving or stopped at a light." Then I remembered that wild animals don't like to be stared at, either...I watch a lot of Nature shows, which gives me greater insight into 'the human condition.'

Sociological curiosity aside, why would you FOLLOW a nut-job? The next thing you might have been looking at could have been the barrel of a gun, the point of a knife or the bottom of his engine.

FYI: rent the movie "Training Day" with Denzell Washington, it has its own sweet spin on life in L.A.

Lastly, keep in mind that there are a**holes everywhere, in all colors, shapes and sizes, genders, etc., and a lot of them drive cars.

They were upset from all of the long hard days of picking lettuce and grapes. Haven't you ever heard of Wrath of Grapes?
I think it was a classic book about hispanic rage.

Thanks,

He was probably drunk just like most of them in NC.Most of the wrecks happening as of late have been hispanics driving drunk and not having a license or insurance.You still shouldn't have followed him though.

Probably because you're a minority in the southwest and hispanics don't like minorities.

Maybe because you obviously are not driving to get to a destination if you have time to follow someone and are more interested in what they are doing. After all that trouble I would have asked them or found a spanish interpretor to ask them. Im sure it was your driving that made them angry and you must like it because no one in their right mind would follow and confront someone that is in your opinion giving them "road rage". I ignore and avoid instigators as long as my safety or car were not threatened.

I live in NYC. This past August I visited LA for 3 weeks. On thing I noticed about it was that the Hispanics there are much different from those in NYC. They are much more "proud" to the point of arrogance. And many of them have a chip on their shoulders.

But I don't blame them too much. Because one thing I noticed is that there's much more racism and racial class-ism / separation in LA (and I suspect in the west).

The fact that you were white probably have something to do with it. Just like you are getting fed up with "Hispanic road rage", instead of the road rage of few Hispanics, those people probably was fed up with WHITE (all white) racism - instead of racism of few white people.

Good luck and don't get killed.

Road rage is road rage.Report this to you local police dept. If this type of crime is not reported it will only get worse.
