To top this all off, there is a South African movie in production called the Race-Ist, about drag racing nogal. A dark-skinned upstart tries to trump the pale-skinned champ. A lot of arguing and death threats ensue. The pale-skinned champ realises his faults and apologises to dark-skinned upstart, who in turn realises a valuable life lesson. Everyone is happy and has a braai together without too much booze, since the rating is PG.

What possible safety reason would make non-whites more of a risk in the pit lanes?

Ever thought of only racers, family of the racers and officials being in the Pits?

No matter who you are, unless your familiar with the Pits and the setup you are a safety risk to yourself and others.

I fail to see your point tbh ;)

Actually you fail to see your own point, you even bolded the relevant text:
It is a campaign that prompts him to eject accredited (black) media from their vantage spots at a race event for reasons of “safety” only to allow the same rules to be broken if the perpetrators are pale-skinned
So why were non-whites ejected for "safety" reasons, but whites were allowed to break these "rules"? And for some reason, you seem to indicate that you're in agreement with this.

This is a one sided article. Can you prove that there was White only reporters in the Pits ?


And yes, I am 100% in agreement.

The safety of the Drivers and Spectators is of higest value to me more so than some guy's little vandeta ;)

There may very well be more to the story, who cares, I'm not arguing that. But then why would you make this assumption if you truly believe that there's more to it:

The smiley doesn't really mask the message that you're conveying about yourself :)

somehow you guys are veering from the point.

Racing is seen as a white sport and thus some race officials are exploiting and promoting this thinking!

When in actual fact its STUPID!

OFC there is more to it, did you read the article?

First off the writer shoots off about not being allowed into the pits....
I don't have to hide anything, as from a previous thread everyone should know where I stand when it comes to racism/being Racist ;)

Watch out, you might just sprain a muscle with your efforts.....

Ok he has a point but he didnt quite make it properly...

I also noticed at the A1 GP... they had SA officials, fat ones... in orange Subaru gear.

But the writer messed it up a bit. He also forgot to mention the non white drivers in SA.

Well said JK8

I do believe there is racism in all kinds of Sport at all levels. But if one wants to better it and put a stop to it the approach on how you deal with it is very important. The writer touched on it very slightly but got carried away in his article. That makes the article look like nothing but a personal vendeta ;)

Even Bernie Ecklestein said what formula one needs is a black female jewish driver.

South African are so waay behind the times with their backward racial thinking mentality. Thats why we are so behind.

Ironically if one wants to talk along racial lines the biggist illegal street/drag racers, fast and furious wannabes seem to be coloured males particularly muslim coloured males in Cape Town.
