NASCAR driver Kyle Larson drops the N word

I swear ive seen dozens of stories about people playing video games just casually dropping slurs, never understood it.
People have to learn that racial slurs are for blacks only.
So he’s a Japanese-American who “is a graduate of Nascar’s Drive for Diversity Program”.
Can’t make this stuff up.
Can’t make this stuff up.
People with racial identity issues, other than the racializers and opportunists, are the biggest racists.
That’s my hot take and I know you don’t like it, why don’t you like it, because you know it’s true.
What’s not true is that you are some special minority subset of the white population who has transcended your innate racist tendencies and everyone else is a rabid, foaming at the mouth closet racist who yearns for the days of old when human beings were better than others simply on the basis of inconsequential characteristics.
Juas as the smeller is the feller, the virtue singnaller signals his guilt of not having the virtue.

At least he has a smoking hot wife.
That is truth, but truth by its very nature cannot offend (itself), so therefore your commentator's fallacy collapses on itself.
Credit One and McDonalds both drop Larson as 2 of the cars primary sponsors. Without sponsors I don't see how CGR can keep him as the driver. It is a shame that a stupid mistake like this is probably going to cost him his career.
I get that it is a word that should never be said but this all seems really extreme to me.
Agreed. Larson shouldn’t lose his whole career over this. It’s stupid.
Like the umpteen other times something like this has happened, it is 1000 percent a business decision and completely justifiable given the way teams are funded by sponsors.
He’s a good driver. Someone will take a chance on him at some point. Hopefully he’s saved some money to last a year or two.

Double stupidity right now too - everyone’s hurting for money, and you just gave an excuse to get your *** dropped.
Well you know pc must be the end all attitude. Spend just a little time among a group of black athletes and you, if you are pc driven, become surprised beyond your ability to understand the logic of pc.
He probably was one of if not the front runner for the 48 car if Johnson does indeed retire after the season. The big hang up would have been if Hendrick let him do his dirt track stuff. He loves to race on dirt and Hendrick doesn't like his drivers doing that sort of stuff but this has ended it all and it is a shame.
Stuff like this kinda cracks me up. I just can't imagine why anyone in the year 2020 would still think it is worth the risk of using that word. Whether you think it is fair or whatever, it is a word white people just don't get to use. Personally, I don't understand why so many white people WANT to use it so badly, but that's just me. I suppose for many it's the whole "don't tell me what I caint do" attitude. I also suppose that for many, the stakes really aren't that high, but for someone like Larson whose entire career is based on public and sponsor relations, I just can't imagine what he was thinking. Crazy.
I don't really know that many white people who WANT to use it myself.
I grew up in PRP/Valley Station on Dixie Highway. I still go to bars and watch sports. Supposedly the biggest rednecks in the city of Louisville. In the 60s, the n word was common. It began to tone down in the 70s and 80s. I cannot recall it being used by anyone in my peer group in 30+ years.
I am in Southeast KY and maybe it is just the folks I hang out with but I would guess I don't hear a white person say that word over 2 or 3 times in a year.
I was the same way for a long time. Living just south of Lexington and with my peer group I rarely ever heard anyone say it. Then I got a job that took me to some of the more “rural” parts of the state. I was shocked at how freely and frequently the word gets tossed around.
Yeah - Maybe Timmy Hill too? He's shown well in the iRacing so far.
Well, I grew up in Harlan county. We were just hillbillies living back up in a holler.
My parents were just folks trying to make a living and take care of their family. We didn't talk like that. Now I certainly did hear people talk like that. Not going to lie.
My thing is this, no matter what I'm doing. Working, playing ball, gardening, eating out with friends, etc. If I get upset, or if I have heated discussion or arguement to the point I needed to walk away and calm down, that word didn't come to my to use. It doesn't unless there's something in there that causes it to.

I'd be all for Timmy Hill getting a prime time ride in the near future. Especially with the crop of young talent in the Xfinity and Truck Series in good equipment, time to see what names like Timmy can do in good equipment.
