Bro, just be thankful Lewis Hamilton called out on the f1 industry’s silence. Just be thankful that after the call out a lot of drivers reacted and took the best action they considered. They could have easily kept ignoring it, at least they are talking now, and you have a lot of influential famous white people in the industry talking about it and taking a stance. Who cares if it took a call out post to do it, personally, I believe it’s better than nothing at all. Please stop being all “oh so now you’re all talking” because THEY ARE TALKING and that’s the important part. Stop looking for every little thing that could maybe be problematic, and just be glad that, even if it’s the bare minimum, these (probably uneducated on the issue) drivers got called out on their inaction, realized their mistake and the influence they could have, and took to social media to break the silence. Even if you believe that they have no genuine good intention and they are just doing it to seem “woke”, that is what you believe, but you cannot possibly know the amount of people that these messages are getting across to, and I think the important part is to at least create awareness, so that these things don’t keep happening and going unnoticed. Today, everybody is talking about the BLM and how fucked up America is, as it should be. And every single person that has at least made one post or retweet/blog/post has made an impact in one person at the minimum. I truly believe that even a small gesture of empathy and support is better than complete silence and apathy, but that’s my opinion.
