Every channel I've seen describe Lewis Hamilton in this way. Why?? It's almost bordering on racism. To say 'Barak Obama, first black president of USA', is ok, cos it's completely relevant in a country which only fairly recently liberated black people, let alone letting them run the country. But F1? rant over. Please let me know if I missed something that let even the BBC talk in these terms.  http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/motorsport/formula_one/7673955.stm"He is the first black F1 driver, let alone the first black driver to have won a major championship, and that will be of interest to a great many people." Why? What an idiot. |

yeah, I think this is the main reason they're saying it the guy's suceeded in a white dominated sport, if you think that he had an equal playing field as there is no prejudice in this country or in the sport then you're living on another planet tbh btw, do you realise how easily your own words could be construed as racist? it's completely relevant in a country which only fairly recently liberated black people, let alone letting them run the country.

He is the first black guy to win the championship, just like tiger woods was the first black golfer to win a major. Its just a headline, time will pass and we will not be worried about this thread in the future.

I ain't gonna live in a world of refuse sacks and chalk boards.
The word is black, black black black black black.
It's not racist to say the word black.
Lewis Hamilton is black.

I'd love to see what would be reported if a White bloke broke the 100m world record! Would White be in front of everything?! That's probably physically not possible though.

I can 100% guarentee that if a white man broke the 100m record the fact he is white would not be reported on of this i'm absolutely sure therefore why is it reported that Lewis is black,it seems fair to say he's the 1st black f1 champ as that's a FACT but at the same time why wouldn't it be mentioned if it was the other way around is it because black people are still seen as a minority i really hope not and since there's a good chance in just over 24 hours Barack Obama will be the most powerful man in the world i would say we certainly live in a different world today were most people outwardly suggest that skin color doesn't mater but deep down am not so sure that's how they really feel.
