"Asians" is far too broad....Chinese are definitely the worst behind the wheel.

Lol, well according to racism...but not actual facts:

Myth-busting the ‘Bad Asian Driver’ myth: Car insurance rates don’t lie
Asian are actually very skillful drivers. Statistics show that Asian drivers, as a group, are actually the safest on the roads in America, with a fatality rate at least three times lower than any other ethnic group. Asians average about four deaths for every 1000,000 people. Whites, Hispanics, and blacks then follow at around 12 per 100,000 each. The most dangerous group is American Indians at nearly 32 deaths per 100,000.
As actuaries love to say “it depends” and include a laundry list of factors, the data shows that yes, we can generalize auto insurance rates based on a racial component as well as driving records. All we have to do is look at the breakdown of premiums on an overall average and by race.
the average Asian driver in the U.S. is actually paying an annual premium of about $815 per year, or $68 per month – 10 percent less than the average U.S. driver.
As the concentration of black population rises in various ZIP codes, insurance companies charge more and more – in ZIP codes where the black population is less than 25 percent of the total, the insurance rate is lower than the national average but every percentage above that will be higher premiums than the national average. The most predominantly-black neighborhoods will be charged as much as two-thirds more than the national average, regardless of the income level off that neighborhood.

"Insurance" is just a nice way of saying "legalized racketeering operation"

Sadly, inevitable. That battle was lost a long time ago.
