How many female F1 racers are there? How many white sprinters are there? How many black swimmers are there? How many poor F1 drivers are there?
I was pointing out that if if Hamilton wants fair representation within F1 drivers then he already has it. Jackie Stewart was right with his comment.
David, you have missed the point entirely. Yes there is more representation in sports, though I would read the recent comments from English footballer Danny Rose about being pulled over by the police. They would never treat a white person the same way, because of the colour of his skin they are making certain assumptions.
It's very easy as a white person (as I am) to not understand what it's like, if you saw it from their perspective I suspect you would be singing a different tune. Just because the are more minorities in sport these days, doesn't mean they are not subject to racism. I don't get the relevance of your point.
I have a mixed race niece, when out with my mum shopping people come up and say 'isn't she a lovely colour' like she is owned by them. Like she is a prized possession, if it ever happened whilst I was there I'd let them know it's not an acceptable thing to say. It just isn't!!
Racism exists, that's a fact. I'm not perfect, in that I mean we all sub consciously do things and it's until you later reflect that you realise what you have said may not be right. But I'm one that can admit that and learn from it
I'm sick of the crap on here about Hamilton and other black people, also I'm sick of the stick women in sport get. I'm going to support my nieces and push them, they are just as good as the boys if they want to be. Even better in some cases.
And the whole Hamilton argument about not supporting women? He probably does you know, but he doesn't shout about it. Many celebs do things on the quiet as they are not looking for self gratification, often after they have passed you get to hear about the wonderful things they have done for others.
Now that I have vented, I recommend watching this. It's available on Netflix in the UK.
