NASCAR driver drops N word on live twitch stream (UPDATE: Suspended Indefinitely. Personal Apology Issued.)
- Thread starter Tapiozona

It's not racist to (rightfully) assert that white America (and white folks globally) have a culture of anti-black racism.
White fragility.
The 'ol reverse racism playbook.
User Banned (3 Months): Trolling a sensitive thread over multiple posts, prior ban for similar behavior
It is racist to presuppose that about every individual.
There's no such thing as reverse racism. Just racism. What we see in the story in the OP is racism, and what we demonstrated by multiple posters in this thread is racism. Hell, there's an unmoderated racial slur on the first page for good measure.
Maybe the lesson learned should be that people should stop being racist rather than believing they get a pass for one reason or another.
Just be goddamn good to each other.

You're making sweeping, negative assumptions about me personally based on my skin color, without knowing me, my friends, my values, my convictions, or actions. Does that sound familiar? Don't we have a name for that?
I haven't said about you. That white folks harbour a culture of anti-black racism is the pure truth.
The reverse racism card ain't working on me.
The original post I quoted clearly said "all white people," and you said "white people globally," so you are leveling those accusations against me. This thread is going downhill fast, though. I wish nothing but peace for you and your family, and I mean that. If you want to hit up my DMs you're more than welcome to.
iRacing suspends Kyle Larson indefinitely.
Lmao yes I definitely have and you're right. That's why I said "proved". Turned out a WHOLE lot of people into gaming were like that.Gamergate?
You ain't been in a public xbox live chat have you? Gaming been full of nasty mofos and edgelords blowing off steam by being an asshole online...
In a thread about a piece of shit casually saying nigger like it's a regular part of his vernacular, there are people getting offended about a poorly phrased generalization from a poster about racism and a documented history of racism from white people around the world.
Like come on. It definitely should have been phrased differently but the derail is getting ridiculous now.

BUT WHAT ABOUT MY FEELINGS?!?!?
Look at what that VILE RACIST post member said :(
He said those hateful words not out of frustration of another celeb saying it was a 'mistake' being racist, but out of his or her own bigotry!
I never say racist things (and I think of myself as a perfectly random example of a white person). I choose black characters in the videogames I play. I voted for Obama. And yet, this this...black panther party member has the NERVE to insinuate that white people as a collective have a racism problem!
From now on, I am just gonna have to show him and let that n-word fly. That poster is the real racist imho, not the guy who gets paid huge dollars and has a fanbase and casually dropped the word while his buddies in similar circumstances showed no outrage whatsoever outside of warning him it was a public comment.
Hey could y'all address this systemic racism on an individual basis? After all, you are commiting true racism if you don't.

Wow. There are people getting away with blatant racism right here in this thread.

Thanks, never knew. Updated the OP with everything in the threadmarks
This is what I never get about racists, homophobes etc.
They know this shit can get them fired but they're so dumb and hateful that they can't even PRETEND not to be shitty
Fuck 'em all

Really living up to that Nascar hick stereotype. Jesus watching that video and hearing them do damage control felt like Robert durst forgetting he had the mic on. Him using it just casually as a mic check makes it pretty clear this is a word him and his friends use on a regular basis.
I agree with that, hell continue to treat that word like it doesn't matter and personally he won't change, But professionally I think things have changed for him at least so that's something.
Yep. The amount of physical conditioning needed to drive a car at those speeds with the forces it puts on the body, lap after lap, hitting your marks, is tremendous. Not to mention that stock cars can get well over 140 F inside.
A lot of these drivers are elite athletes, run marathons/triathlons in the off-season, etc.
Yep. iRacing does not fuck around with shit like this. He's not the first pro they've suspended or banned for toxicity and likely won't be the last.
I watched the video and legit lol'd.
Like, what the actual fuck was he thinking? He just...Says the word. I don't understand.

And he was right back in after a 2 week sensitivity course. And reading this thread is wow. Some of you are just...
I don't know who this person is, but hopefully this time we can get a suspension from the sport to last more than two fucking races, because yeah that's pretty awful.
My favorite parts of these threads is how people twist themselves to defend their corporate entity of choice.
Also love how "left leaning, democrat, california" are somehow mean someone is not racist.
The logic on display in this thread would dictate that no one could criticize America as a racist country because that would be stereotyping and thus just as bad as the actual racism black people have to endure from liberals and conservatives alike.

I can't seem to find anything that suggests they're actually related. Huh. Larson is not her actual last name and it looks like you have to go back to her great-grandmother for it whereas Kyle Larson's birth last name is in fact Larson. I suspect this is not correct but maybe.
And good for Nascar for suspending this idiot. Should be permanent.
Notice they terminated it with Kyle. Not his team.
They've definitely set things up for Chip to fire him and replace him with a new driver to save face.
