Regarding Varsha’s comments at the USGP……perhaps the Europeans like Vettel and Alonzo don’t obsess over being politically correct, as we seem to in the USA. Perhaps European sensitivity to what might be called racist by some in the USA, is not as acute. In a country where words like “apartment” and “Chicago” are considered racist “code words” by some, maybe the Europeans have more important things with which to concern themselves…..after all…..no note was made of the color of Lewis Hamilton’s skin, was it?

The US is too sensitive to this politically correct BS......it's very annoying.

It seems frowned upon to refer to Blacks as anything but "African American".......{{eyeroll}}

Also, in case people haven't paying close attention, it's "only racist if it comes from a white person's mouth". 

Tell me the last time you heard a non Caucasian accused of being racist, LOL....

Anyways, some levity to this thread:
