Then a few posts later after a bunch of guys respond saying they like asian girls and the polls are mostly yes, the OP reveals they are "ladyboys" from Thailand. You can imagine the nasty responses and people making fun of each other for having voted yes. I am so disgusted I feel like I need to take a bath. And yes, I did post in the thread pointing out how disgusting and transphobic it is and they should be ashamed of themselves. Grrr. Here's the link if anyone wants to make an account and respond also:

Drew -

I am an active member of a car forum that is of course, mainly cis gendered, straight males. Every once in a while you see a gay joke, something racist, or something misogynist. Fortunately, when that happens, someone on the forum calls bullshit (including me, of course!) and the person slinks away.

I really like the forum as I have no one in my personal life to talk cars with...and this forum (ok, well subforum of the forum) is specifically for my model car, so I learn a lot. I would be bummed if it was racist or homophobic or transphobic (have never seen that topic come up) b/c I would have to leave. Couldn't and wouldn't deal with it. I would assume that there is quite a number of other car audio forums out there...maybe you should go searching for a new one.

I personally wouldn't waste one minute of my breath arguing with a guy like that. No point and you only get frustrated. He isn't deserving of the dialogue.

Good luck.

P.S. FYI: I did not look at the link (don't want the negative energy), but I am guessing that I didn't need to to make sense in response.
