I may be a racist, but at least I can drive. Don’t care if it’s spelled correctly or not [edit]

Mobius doesn’t seem to know what real racism is. I have a feeling if somebody had asked if the drivers underwear was too tight Chas would have been called a racist just because the driver is not white. A turban is not a symbol of race, it’s a hat that is worn for many reasons. Gotta hand it to Chas for owning it though.

Fortunately, Mobius, you nor anyone else is the arbiter of what can be funny to anyone other than themselves.

If you think it’s not funny, don’t laugh.

Other than sitting off by yourself with a scowl on your face, your arms crossed and your lower lip sticking out, that’s about all you get to do.

Who, the Sikhs?

“The fundamental beliefs of Sikhism, …divine unity and equality of all humankind, engaging in selfless service, striving for justice for the benefit and prosperity of all and honest conduct and livelihood while living a householder’s life.”

Nah, a lot of driver’s getting behind the Redwood Curtain for the first time. Nice new trucks that their drivers haven’t driven on curves before. And of course, smoking the local weed has no impact on driving ability!

That is not a “behind the redwood curtain” accident.
That is an idiot that doesn’t know how to drive.
Whoever gave him a license should be fired.

Making a joke about turbans may be tasteless but it’s not racist. But I suppose it’s close enough for virtue signalling.

Yeah, looks like a sikh, with the beard and turban, but not a whisper about how it happened. Without the turban, he might be an old hippie, or a hillbilly, or a hobo, or biker, out of work Santa, or… Really – is your mind that small? I’m beginning to believe that it probably is.

Just glad the driver is fine, and the truck did not roll over on another corner where it could have killed someone. A lesson learned by the driver for sure. A dangerous stretch of highway through there. Be careful people, and please slow down.

I can imagine what was going through the driver’s head when they heard the twisting noise of the cab frame while the slow motion movement of the cab sideway forced the driver out of the driver’s seat and onto the passenger side. Driver was probably standing on their feet on the passengee side window looking up at the driver side window and sky when the truck finally came to a rest.
