SEMA had a large booth area (where PPG and Toyota used to have their booths in the North Hall) where the drag racing cars of noteworthy blacks were, which either illustrates that the USA is 76% white 14%black, or that motorsports is not a vocation that minorities in the USA participate in, vs athletic sports




I've posted about anyone that caught my interest, regardless of nationality, location on this planet, ancestry, age, or sex. 

There just haven't been much more than 2 or 3% of any minority in American motorsports. Not in Nascar, drag racing, go carts, Indy cars, atvs, trucks, mud bogs, swamp buggies, boat racing, land speed racing, etc. Anyone that isn't a white guy is an anomaly. 

Reasons are probably mostly opinions on how that is, but, again, the population by census, isn't a matter for speculation, it's a science fact from the govt statistics. https://www.census.gov/quickfacts/fact/table/US/PST045221  

I still think it's ridiculous to use the term African American, unless you're talking about Elon Musk, Charlize Theron, or others that actually were born in Africa, and are now American citizens. 

Either call people American, colored (not my term, just ask the NAACP who they represent) POC (people of color), or black. (if that offends you, just ask the govt or any survey why I am "white" instead of European ancestry) 

People getting upset about race simply are irritated about everything, and out to fight about terminology of something, political, gender, racist, or their favorite sports team of athlete millionaires of different ancestry. It's emotional, not logical

  1. Nailed it,yet again,Jesse! Same problem DownUnder....First nations etc. Just need to say, "I identify as aboriginal", and you are eligible for Govt. benefits. They say we all need to get along together,but then they put us apart by specifying race of the minorities.
