I think people are bringing that up, because this idiot was promoted through NASCAR's diversity program, so they're saying he should know better, but Asians are just as bad, so, to me, just another one doing what they do.

Sidebar...
Ummm i tweeted them about this topic mad early just saying.
Yup they WERE giving him a damn pass on some bullsh*t
SAS did a 1 minute Google search on nascar racism and thought he was gonna drop some type of profound
Nope
That was weak sauce.
Larson was wrong wrong
Him being a diversity driver made it even worse
His racing crew basically co signing in real time was disgusting
Nascar trying to see if they could wait it was cowardly
Salute to McDonald's
Coon Smith goes at black players for smoking weed.....Every single tine he's caping for white folks.
Don't let me start with Max. This aint the first time, he said that nonsense about the word on that show. He's your typical white liberal that tries to act dumb.

Heist aint son shit but you... Notice you the only nigga keep his dick your mouth. And oddly continue to do so even after he was exposed as a colossal fucking fraud and self hating piece of shit. You were one of the few niggas easily impressed with his bullshit despite me constantly telling you he was full of shit and largely never knew wtf he was talking. Get better heroes you fucking midget.

Embarrassing, exhausting and infuriating
Three words Stephen has not only mispronounced, but misused on several occasions on air.
@woodchuck
@fonzerrillii
@ansatsusha_gouki
I'm not being a hater or delusional fanboy...
I really think we got a rotating set of voices on bgol who could do a sports and current event topic show better.
These shows getting exposed.
Listen Max is my man but he been getting exposed here.
I KNOW what he MEANT
But damn.
Both of them made SURE to appease their WHITE audience first
So they don't feel targeted or guilty or singled out or exposed
That was all that was some ole bullsh*t
When someone saying n***** like that?
Can't get straight roasted?
I ain't trying to hear max on some anti trump rant or stephan talk about weed
Cause yall scared.
Well, he hit the "R". You know the Japanese half doesn't include his mouth.
The question is, why would you listen to white peoples' opinions on racism? Most of them only know racism when it hits them in the mouth. They have no idea of the subtle and not so subtle racism we deal with constantly. I'm talking about from the minute you're born until they throw dirt on you.
And sas, well, everyone should know by now he's just a shill for his (white) masters. The angry, yet ultimately benign negro who they can feel good about themselves for allowing air time. But we've seen what happens when he oversteps. Fucking minstrel show motherfucker.

Larson fired for using racial slur in virtual race
After he lost all but one of his sponsors for using a racial slur during a virtual race, NASCAR driver Kyle Larson has been fired by Chip Ganassi Racing.www.espn.com
CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Chip Ganassi Racing has fired NASCAR driver Kyle Larsonafter he used the N-word during a virtual race, it was announced Tuesday.
Larson was competing in an iRacing event Sunday night when he appeared to lose communication with his spotter on his headset. During a check of his microphone, Larson said, "You can't hear me?" That was followed by the N-word.
"After much consideration, Chip Ganassi Racing has determined that it will end its relationship with driver Kyle Larson," Ganassi said. "As we said before, the comments that Kyle made were both offensive and unacceptable especially given the values of our organization. As we continued to evaluate the situation with all the relevant parties, it became obvious that this was the only appropriate course of action to take."
Larson issued an apology Monday, saying there was "no excuse" for his comment, and he apologized in a video posted on his social media accounts.
"I made a mistake, said the word that should never, ever be said," Larson said. "There is no excuse for that. I wasn't raised that way. It is just an awful thing to say. I feel very sorry for my family, my friends, my partners, the NASCAR community and especially the African American community.
"I understand the damage is probably unrepairable and I own up to that. But I just want to let you all know how sorry I am and I hope everyone is staying safe during these crazy times."
He was suspended without pay by Ganassi early Monday, then suspended indefinitely by NASCAR. Larson was ordered to complete a sensitivity training.
There were ramifications from Larson's sponsors. McDonald's, Credit One Bank and Fiserv, a financial services technology company that runs the Clover platform that had sponsored Larson, terminated their sponsorship deals, and Chevrolet suspended its personal services relationship with him.
Larson reached out personally to many sponsors and friends to apologize. Brent Powell, president of Plan B Sales and Marketing, was the only sponsor to remain behind Larson. He said the driver called him personally to "express his regret about what transpired. He sounded very somber and was very apologetic."
Without funding on the No. 42 Chevrolet as long as Larson was in the car, the situation became untenable for Ganassi to keep Larson.
Larson, in his seventh full season racing at NASCAR's top Cup level, was in the final year of his contract with Ganassi Racing. He was at the top of the list of a crowded free-agent field when the circuit was suspended four races into the season because of the coronavirus pandemic.
NASCAR quickly pivoted to create an iRacing league of virtual racing that has engaged viewers and set records for esports television viewership. One of the draws of the platform is that drivers can link into one another on a livestream, where they banter, argue, make jokes and discuss the racing. Fans can listen through the gaming app Twitch.
Larson used the slur during the Sunday night race against drivers from various series. The event was not part of NASCAR's official series.
Drivers in the chat immediately reacted to Larson's use of the slur, with one instantly alerting him, "Kyle, you're talking to everyone, bud." Others were in disbelief.
Larson, 27, has six career Cup wins and finished a career-best sixth in the standings last season.
He is half-Japanese -- his grandparents spent time in an internment camp in California during World War II -- and he climbed from short-track racing into NASCAR through its "Drive for Diversity" program. He is the only driver of Japanese descent to win a major NASCAR race.
His famed sprint car career could also be in jeopardy: Kyle Larson Racing fields a Chevrolet in the World of Outlaws Series that is sponsored in part by Lucas Oil, a company that said it was indefinitely ending its partnership with Larson.
In January, Larson finally won the prestigious Chili Bowl after 13 attempts. He was criticized by NASCAR fans after the Chili Bowl win for calling it the biggest of his career -- just weeks before the season-opening Daytona 500, where he is 0-for-7.
Larson later apologized for downplaying the significance of his NASCAR wins. His victories in Cup have come at California; Dover, Delaware; Michigan (three victories); and Richmond, Virginia. He won NASCAR's non-points All-Star race last season.
What they say cuz?
Ummmm cuz
McDonald's sent me another email just before all this popped off
I will pm you
Ronald aint messing around
I'm ordering a number 1 and 2 big kids happy meals delivery tonight off gp

Kyle Larson's racial slur drags NASCAR backward
Sports has all but stopped in the face of the coronavirus pandemic. No games. No fans. No revenue.
About the only glimmer of hope out there was NASCAR. The stock car circuit certainly would have preferred running its traditional season, but faced with that impossibility, it has been staging simulated online events, with top drivers, on the iRacing platform.
It wasn’t the same, but it also wasn’t bad. In its own way, it was unique and a bit addictive. Weekly viewership has topped 1 million on Fox and FS1. It actually served as an opportunity for targeted growth for a sports league plagued by troublesome demographic trends and the departure of star drivers.
No one thought video game racing was going to turn NASCAR into the NFL — or even the NASCAR of a decade ago. It stood to reason, however, that the nature of the platform might bring in some new fans who generally trend toward eSports. Maybe some would stick around.
Every little bit helps when you’ve been dying on the vine like NASCAR — dwindling attendance, sponsorship revenue and television ratings.
Then, right in the middle of Sunday's race, came Kyle Larson’s ugly, inexcusable use of a racial slur.
Larson has torched his career. He also delivered a body blow to NASCAR itself, which for years has sought to reach beyond its traditional fan base and driver pool while presenting its reality as a far more diverse and welcoming place than the old stereotypes suggest.
Only here was that stereotype again, confirming the worst suspicions of skeptics, critics and those not predisposed to even give it a chance.
Larson was fired Tuesday by Chip Ganassi Racing. There is no place for this and unlike professional team sports, a driver can’t blend in on some big roster. NASCAR is almost wholly reliant on sponsors. The moment a driver is deemed too toxic for business, he's done.
Where Larson goes from here is one thing (it’s on him to repair his image if he is to return).
Where NASCAR goes is the bigger issue.
The sport remains a lot of fun to follow but it isn’t as popular as it used to be. Its traditional fan base is shrinking. New customers in new markets haven’t emerged to replace them.
Fewer fans, fewer advertisers. Entering what will undoubtedly be a period of economic difficulty, NASCAR, like every other sport, is in no position to lose more of either.
You need to give corporate partners a reason to stay, especially in downtimes. Larson gave them a reason to leave.
NASCAR has tried to soften its image and make itself more accessible to all sexes, ethnicities and ages.
More could and will be done, but it has staged outreach in urban areas and tried to lure in young fans. Pre-race concerts now go past just country acts. Race weekends are marketed as rollicking parties. Grandstand bleachers have been reconfigured with luxury boxes and party decks.
It’s likewise banned (officially) the flying of Confederate flags, which while still flying at tracks is an image many people from all races find offensive, hateful and unwelcoming. It even offered a trade-in program, replacing them with an American flag.
Some of this has worked. Some less so. There have been plenty of missteps as well.
Regardless, it hasn’t been enough for NASCAR’s bottom line. It’s a battle, especially when races are a bit long for modern attention spans and there isn’t a Dale Earnhardt (Sr. or Jr.) at the start line.
NASCAR’s challenge is finding new fans to give it a fresh look. While it has a sad history of intolerance, its days as some monolith ended long ago. No, it isn’t perfect, but crews and teams are more diverse. There are half-million-dollar RVs in the infield right next to humble tents. There are fans from the towers of Manhattan and the mountains of North Carolina, twenty-somethings cheering alongside the AARP crowd.
A fast car is a fast car, it appeals to more than just one race or gender or age or socioeconomic group.
The circuit’s Drive for Diversity program has tried to create opportunities for drivers who are women and/or of color. That includes Kyle Larson, who grew up in Northern California to a Japanese American mother.
Larson, 27, was supposed to be part of the changing face, and perhaps fortunes, of NASCAR — young and talented, daring and diverse.
Instead he dragged the sport backward.
NASCAR’s initiatives can only do so much to change perceptions when dealing with a wave of headlines like this.
Same old NASCAR. Same old sport to ignore. Or so it goes.
That kind of damage lingers far beyond the news cycles of apologies and suspensions. It's NASCAR’s old, worst stereotype being reaffirmed, just as it was finding a flash of iRacing positivity to perhaps push through the pandemic.

Former NASCAR Cup Series driver Kyle Larson raced to the victory Tuesday in the Pennsylvania 410 Sprint Car Speedweek event at Grandview Speedway in Bechtelsville as part of the Thunder on the Hill Racing Series.
Ryan Watt of Boyertown won the 358 modified feature.
Larson was fired by Chip Ganassi Racing in April after using a racial slur during an iRacing event.
He’ll be back.
I don't know man. He got fired before the climate in this country.....and the world changed. Before George Floyd was murdered and before Bubba called for NASCAR to ban the confederate flag. Shit is A LOT different now. NASCAR or sponsors taking him back wouldn't be tolerated.
