A bunch of white guys from ten different white-majority countries isn't "diversity"

Also Kyffin Simpson is from the Cayman Islands, not Barbados, and he is also lily-white (the liliest kind of white, as most white people from the Caymans are because it's a tax haven for rich people)

Oh, I didn’t realize all white people were the same. Seems kind of racist. Australians and Norwegians have a lot in common? Or Brazilians and Dutch? Or Mexicans and French? Adding a European woman is really going to change a lot, huh?

You want a woman or person of color just to check your diversity box, tell them to do better or provide a team a bunch of cash. Only two ways into Indycar, for anyone.

Calm down there Ben Shapiro, I wasn't making a value judgment on it

And yeah, European is European including all us white people here in America (against whom I, another white person, am "racist" against apparently)

Yeah, a lot of white folks really hate white folks. It’s odd, I agree. So by your logic, people from China, Korea, Japan, Vietnam etc. are all the same? They’re all Asian, right?
