I want to apologize if I offended any PoC, I didn’t read the greentext correctly and “basketball American” slipped through. I’ve tried to keep my posts as clean as possible and will continue to do so. It’s entirely my mistake and I’m sorry.

Calling that politically correct is a bigger laugh than how blatantly racist it was in the first place.

Should have called themselves swimmer American for consistency.

White people love nascar because of all the whips

Sorry, the whips? I don't know enough about NASCAR to get that joke, maybe.

White people love nascar for the same reason they love millionaires. They think I could be that and then drunkenly drive their lifted truck home and kill a family with a NASCAR sticker on the back of their truck on the way back from the bar while they listen to a country song from a different millionaire telling them they just gotta roll up their sleeves and work every day like the singer does

That is reserved for the Canadians I think
