Driver crashes £250,000 Lamborghini supercar (promise no DM link) Unnecessary racial comment

[partialderivative]

Though it is a DM story.

A bloke (probably a prat) bent his Lamborghini, stepped out and may have said 'It's ok, I'l buy another one tomorrow'

Very silly thing to say, maybe because he was in some sort of shock.

Anyway, the article went on to describe him as an Asian Male.

Was that relevant to the article?

I made a comment to that extent, which is now has 100 red arrows!

Not sure where the AIBU fits in to this.

The article must have changed, I've read through the link supplied by Worra and the word Asian doesn't appear anywhere.

The orange colour is awful.

That's been seriously re-written! LOts of changes from when I first read it about an hour ago, but it says it was updated at 00:54 on 13th April, so someone has seen fit to edit it quite heavily.

The DM is a shit newspaper. If you can even call it a newspaper as there never seems to be any news in it just silly articles like this one.

Surely the point of a newspaper report is to provide information and detail?! Ffs this winds me up. Is the world so politically correct gone mad that articles will soon read 'a living being (human, plant, cow or otherwise) has just crashed a vehicle (car, van, lorry, or bus)' so as it to be too specific.

Compos does he have a teeny tiny cock because he's Asian, or because he drives a fast car (albeit, possibly poorly)? Is Vin Diesel compensating? Was Paul Walker? Jensen Button? My love of fast cars doesn't stretch (financially) beyond a hot hatch, but were I to win the lotto and blow £100k plus on a Maserati, would my knob all of a sudden shrink?
And DM quality proof reading and research again... Ffs, it says £250k in the headline bullet points, then £150k in the first paragraph... Autocar has the list price as from £135k for the current model.

Surely the point of a newspaper report is to provide information and detail

Ahhh. But adding detail can serve to conform prejudiuce.

a) A 21 yr old man was arrested today.

b) A 21 yr old Romanian man was arrested today.

c) A 21 yr old English man was arrested today.

Which of those sentences would you not see in the DM?

a) A straight, white male crashed their car today
b) A blonde, female crashed her car today
c) A black man crashed their car today.

Again - which sentence is unusual. They all add detail, don't they?

The price of liberty is eternal vigilance, and the price of a free press is prejudicial detail and the DM. Worth paying.

minus because he's driving a fast ostentatious car.

I pay no heed to the knob size is in inverse proportion to the flashiness of one's car.

I drive a 20 year old Toyota.

Only saying.

What has the size of the top of the gear stick to do with it?

Some cars have a big knob on the gear-stick and some a small one. So what?
