i'm here for a business trip, and walked with my firend on the side walk in downtwon. We got honked three different times while walking. both of us are Asian guys. we just could figure out what's up with it. it just happened out of blue. Are these ppls here just being racists? so strange.

Could be many things, first the world does not revolve around you guys, being asian and such. Unless you two were really attractive like myself then I would see your point, as I constantly get honked at and given the I'm number one finger gesture . Could be a hot lady in a bikini holding up a car wash sign. Or more than likely a road rage incident around your vicinity. Enjoy your stay!

No clue why you two were honked at. But I can assure you it wasn't because of your race. Maybe it was sheer coincidence or maybe your "impressed" the drivers.

maybe you guys are super fine? maybe your fly was down? maybe u were being chased by zombies and didn't realize it? could be a multitude of things....that have nothing to do with being Asian.

I think maybe you two shared a feature that made you both look so alike but different to us. Clothes, hair, some physical attribute? Two guys like twins will catch attention and people love to honk on some sides of town at anything different, or to make someone jump because they got honked at by suprise, or just to laugh at you. Living on a busy street sucks when having to cut the front yard. People find it funny and there is always at least one honker. I am also sure they were honking at you two because it had something to do with being Asian and standing out (since most Asians would not immediately stand out or be honked at) but that is just a guess, only the honkers could know their real reason.

thank y'all for all the replies. it is a busy area at downtown, and it is hot as well. i will just ignore these honkers for whatever reason. in general ppls seems nice on the street most of the time. we did have a good time here.

If you weren't doing anything wrong, you might have just been honked at for being good looking, lol. It happens. Like everyone has originally said, it would be a number of reason why people honk. I highly doubt that they did it because of your race.
