The truck is ok...ish, but the wheels are too small lol (NOT). He should sell those rims and buy bigger ones. What he was thinking about when he bought those wheels and tires with little sidewalls??? !!!!!!!!!WTF

Sure, because acknowledging stereotypes that exist for a reason against any single group of people is automatically bigotry.
If I see a lowrider here in Las Cruces with wheels and tires that are 13 inches wide and stick out from the vehicle about 4 inches from the fenders, I automatically assume it's a Hispanic person. I've not been wrong yet, but I suppose that makes me a bigot. Additionally I rarely see a jacked up pickup truck with mud boggers whos owner isn't white and wearing a baseball cap, so I automatically assume when I see one that the owner is a white guy. Guess that makes me a bigot too. Different races like different things and find different things attractive in vehicles, that's a fact. Whether it's bred into the race or part of upbringing or the dominant culture during childhood... who knows, but it doesn't change that you can pretty much tell someone's ethnicity by looking at how they behave. That's not bigotry. Disliking someone's design choices BECAUSE of their race alone is bigotry. I challenge you to find someone here who would like the wheels on that truck regardless of who owned it.
Sorry... calling someone a bigot for simply recognizing racial differences and trends is a pet peeve of mine.
As for the truck... it's a beautiful vehicle minus the wheels, change those wheels and that's a winner, but the wheels are a little over the top. lol
