"Black MLB players compared to Black NASCAR drivers"
Yes, because its a bloodsport (or was).
If they continue making it any safer they should remove the cars and replace them with Power Wheels. No matter your skin color, go hop in one and go for the glory. Any rational person would understand the risks involved.
There hasn't been a fatality in NASCAR since Dale Sr. So the risks are less now, I don't hate modern NASCAR for diversity because who cares, I hate it for its White Collar and safety focus.
Who gave a shit about a bunch of rednecks killing themselves on an oval track? no one. (edit: I have this same beef with modern computer gaming, who gave a shit 20 years ago about some nerds playing in Norrath.. nothing like that to be seen again)
The roots of the sport are moonshine running during prohibition, when you risked your life running from the cops down sketchy backroads at high speeds. It came from outlaws.
I don't like the neutering. I have had this beef long before a Bubba Wallace showed up to race.
