race-ism

Nowadays, jokes involving race and religion are not funny even when they are funny and not racist. I am clearly not speaking about the joke that is galiano and james brown (uk hairdresser in this case).

But here’s one nevertheless: Lewis Hamilton blamed his being black as the cause of his 5+ penalties in as many Grands Prix, referencing Ali G on camera in his protestations– not the cleverest tack when launching an appeal to marshals. Never mind the 5+ people he crashed into along the way. Call it race-ism.
