honestly, you are right and the people calling you racist for pointing it out are 100% in the wrong. f1 *is* white eurocentric, that’s it’s origin and it’s structure. even the fact that liberty media is a us company doesn’t mean that it’s now americentric, it’s still a white eurocentric institution with very rich white european men filling it’s governing bodies. acknowledging the facts of the power balance at work is necessary to viewing the sport through an appropriate lens and understanding the forces working to keep that money and organizational power consolidated.
another thing i want u heathens to know is that i deleted the post because my notis were blowing up and ain't nobody got the time for that. my point still stands and ur not gonna change my mind on that. carry on
#being awarded a racing venue means tourist revenue not institutional power#having very talented driver come from your non european country means a national hero not institutional power#this shouldn't be a hard concept to grasp#and it's not less racist or more progressive to pretend that international funding or rainbow branding has changed the power structure#jfc#yes we all want it to change!#but that doesn't mean reality has been altered bc of a little wishful thinking uwu#damn to europeans get mad when called out on their shit
