‘Blatantly Illegal:’ NASCAR Bans White Applicants From ‘Diversity Internship’
Daily Wire ^ | August 28, 2023 | Spencer Lindquist

Posted on 08/31/2023 7:18:01 AM PDT by lowbridge

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.

“ Well I personally think that applies to almost all endeavors
in the USA today.”

There is nothing in America today that is not from the seed of the snake.

It’s destruction would be very welcome.

Very true- the left are the “Perpetually Outrage, Perpetually Jealous” party who’s main goal in life is to make others as miserable as they are I guess.

I thought whites are the ones that need diversity training.

Thr left “have to educate” black people about how oppressed and repressed they are due to white man. Till then, they were getting along with everyone and experiencing a pretty good life- it isn’t until they are gaslighted that they “become aware” of how oppressed they are according to liberals.

And Billy Bob and Jethro will continue to show up and watch drivers hit the gas pedal and turn Left.

NASCAR needs to get the same treatment that Bud Light has been getting.

“The left “have to educate” black people about how oppressed and repressed they are due to white man.”

Maybe we’ll someday find out what the “internship” teaches.

Regardless, it’s crazy stuff by NASCAR. I think their ultimate goal is to gain black fans.

NASCAR may see end of an era. They handed control of the promotion to Bubba Wallace.

I urge every white person who wants to intern to apply claiming to be a Dolezal African-American. Those whose application are rejected need to sue NASCAR for illegal racial discrimination.

Sad part is that whites think the system is and will be fair.

“Black or African American, American Indian or Alaska Native, Asian, Latino or Hispanic, Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander.”

Only ONE of the above mentioned does not need to PROVE they are a member of their identified race.

Who would have thought NASCAR would go all in for Wokeness. I assume they have LGBTQ Night also.
