I gotta disagree with Lewis on him saying MBS' quote is about race. It's very likely more about class.

From his perspective he thinks that F1 is a rich person's sport only and rap is underneath them and only for the poor masses.

MBS is still a piece of shit though

Idk you might be right, but it's pretty common for people to use rap and hip hop as a means to say racist shit, but still have plausible deniability because they technically never mentioned black people or black culture.

Whether he meant it like that or not, I think it's pretty understandable that that was Lewis' interpretation of his comments.

people often tend to forget that Racism often leads to class divisions, reinforcing inequality and social stratification.. especially if its done on a large scale systematic level. so yeah. in a vaccume ur right. but in all normal walks of life, this shit goes hand in hand.
