NASCAR offers a paid “diversity internship” that excludes white people from applying on the basis of their race, a stipulation a constitutional lawyer tells The Daily Wire is “blatantly illegal.”
The race car giant’s “diversity internship program” states that there are racial requirements that applicants must meet in order to be accepted.
The first bullet point listed under the heading “Program Requirements” reads “Be a member of one or more of the following races/ethnic minority classifications: Black or African American, American Indian or Alaska Native, Asian, Latino or Hispanic, Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander.”
David Bernstein, a professor at George Mason University’s Antonin Scalia School of Law, told The Daily Wire that NASCAR’s racially discriminatory program is “blatantly illegal,” noting that it would “seem to violate Title VII and the 1866 Civil Rights Act.”
“Having a 100% quota for minorities for a position is illegal even under a very generous view of what is allowed,” Bernstein said, adding that a potential applicant who was unable to apply on the basis of his or her race would have legal standing to sue the company.
NASCAR’s diversity internship program appears to be part of a broader company campaign called “Drive for Diversity,” which also includes race-based mentorship programs.
The “Pit Crew Development Program,” for example, is described as a “comprehensive training program for aspiring minority and female pit crew members.” There’s also the “Driver Development Program,” which provides “top minority and female drivers” with “coaching, mentorship, and development.”
Both programs stipulate that applicants are only eligible for the programs if they are female or a “member of one or more … ethnic minority classifications,” which include American Indian, Asian or Pacific Islander, African American, and Latino or Hispanic.

Sounds like NASCAR has gone full retard. Who would’ve thunk it?
I am sure they are going to get sued.
Seems racist. 😁😂😃
Whoever has been leading nascar the past 10 or so years is not doing a very good job.
How do you lose the fans and viewers they have lost?
C’mon, NASCAR. Do the right thing. Give all the minority drivers a ten lap head start at every race.
Apply, then sue.
I would have.
People with money and power are doing everything possible to destroy white countries and cultures.
These people are heavily involved in the Ukraine grift.
No one group is more victim to Racism and bigotry then white straight males.
Everyone should apply and get rejected, we’d have a hell of a class action lawsuit.
“How do you lose the fans and viewers they have lost?”
How do some men lose a good wife by chasing trashy women that will never be faithful to them?
Ehat the heck has racial issues got to do with driving? Just race and keep the crap out. Till then no Nascar for me! Nascar sucks now- big time!
Ya’ll got it all wrong... You have to fight ridiculously, retarded, stupid things with bold mocking! Every white person should apply as a listed minority.
I, myself proudly tell people that I am a large, black, woman. Though I appear as a medium sized, white, male; that’s not relevant in their world. I end the interaction with alluding to their obvious racism...

Well I personally think that applies to almost all endeavors
in the USA today. Definitely changed since 1492 when ol’
Columbus sailed the ocean blue.
Who made the changes over time and gained gov't okay?
Make the best of your allotted three score and ten. Enjoy
From 2020...

It’s good to have low friends in high places.
Right, NOOSECAR...
Racism is okay when liberals do it.
And that’s just how it is with these hypocrites.
They are destroying anything and everything that appeals to the white population.
Anyone remember BO’s first act was to tax tanning salons but not braiding parlors?
They destroyed the Boy and Girl Scouts, Bud Light and are destroying communities by shoving in HUD housing.
