John Laws Adds “Asians” To The Ever Growing List Of People Who Just Don’t Get His Plain Talkin’ Ways

John Laws had a tasty little spray at Asian drivers today on his 2UE morning show,

This morning’s tirade was directed at a Chinese-Australian caller named “Helen”. Helen was describing the trouble she had recently experienced with the cross-city tunnel. She had been fined for failing to pay the toll. Laws asked her why she hadn’t paid the toll and Helen said she didn’t know that there was one. “I never travel to east (sic), that’s the first time I travel to east.”

Talking over the top of Helen, Laws said: “Sounds like you travelled from the east.” He continued: “Obviously you’re Asian are you?” Helen said she was from China.

And away Laws went.

“I understand that Chinese drivers are probably the worst drivers on the face of the earth,” he said. “You probably fall into that category along with the rest of them.”

By this time Helen was superfluous to requirements and was cut off.

“I’ll give you even money that sweet Helen’s little, too. She’s about 4′ 8. I can see it. They look out between the steering wheel and the top of the dashboard.

“You’ve got to… well, I won’t put it that way… well, I will: you’ve got to keep your eyes open.

“Now I’m going to be screamed at for saying (sic) that I’m being racist,” Laws then said.

“I’m not being racist. I’m telling you the truth.”

Now, we’re not sure but we think he might have been a bit out of line. We’re not really a hundred per cent on it though since last time he directed his attentions towards the pompous little pansy prigs of the world, it was covered in free speech and we were forced to reassess our entire stance on the issue.

Also, we can’t be the only one who thinks he looks like the head of the Gay Mafia in the photo used in the Daily Telegraph article, surely?
