              Technically, VW and Audi are the same. Mercedes might as well be american now since it's owned by Chrysler. And TomTom has photo proof you cannot travel at any speed and get away with it.

                So white-middle class Americans have been told by their Television sets to be fearful of:

                1. Mexicans/Latinos from the South bringing drugs and killings n' shit.
                2. African Americans cause mos def they are raging a race war and want to occupy America like how the plebs occupied Wall St.
                3. Iranians/Afghans/Any one of middle eastern origin to be quite frank, cause you know Islam...
                4. North Koreans/Chinese cause you know everything...
