A constitutional lawyer is calling a diversity internship NASCAR offers โblatantly illegal.โ The paid internship provided by the motorsports giant bans white applicants based on their race.
NASCAR's website outlines the racial requirements applicants must meet in order to be considered.
The Daily Wire's Spencer Lindquist has more:
The first bullet point listed under the heading โProgram Requirementsโ reads โBe 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.โ
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 โblatantly illegal,โ noting that it would โseem to violate Title VII and the 1866 Civil Rights Act.โ
โHaving a 100% quota for minorities for a position is illegal even under a very generous view of what is allowed,โ Bernstein said, adding that aย 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 โDrive for Diversity,โ which also includesย race-based mentorshipย programs.
Diversity initiatives solely reserved for women and minorities include the โPit Crew Development Programโ for aspiring NASCAR pit crew members. Additionally, the โDriver Development Programโ provides โcoaching, membership, and developmentโ for female and minority drivers.

LOL!! Good luck finding drivers like that. There’s a quality called affinity for machinery which VERY few of them have.
The new guideto acceptable discrimination… Will they do well with empty seats??
Now, if we did the same thing in football, basketball, soccer, tennis, I’s tinks da woods figgures dat out’s a bits quicker
NASCAR fans don’t like most things the league has done but this one is a real game changer !!!!!
WTH is going on with nascar.Go woke,go broke,do u have to ruin every dam sport Americans once loved into the ground.Take your bs some where else, or this will go up in flames too.Wake up.Have u ever seen races, without white drivers,ya right,I haven’t either.So quit screwing with our favorite sports, or face terrible consequences,like bud left./lite
In the minds of Marxists and Democrats racism is the only way forward, in that way they can divide and conquer all the people in this nation! And the weak minded are gladly accepting their demise!
Wow !!! This could totally kill NASCAR in one season. This needs to be spread loud and wide. NASCAR fans have taken a lot of crap from the League. But this one is a real game changer. Boycott NASCAR in 2023 and there won’t be one in 2024. “GO WOKE GO BROKE”. Let’s make it happen fans !!!m
Kinda’ hated to see Bud Light/Anhauser-Busch go down the drain too. But only due to the nostalgia aspect. Other than that, they got (and are still getting) what they totally deserve.
Oh well, schitt happens. Not only should fans retaliate with a 100% boycott, but so should the drivers. RIP NASCAR. Serves ya’ right, just like Bud Light!
go woke go broke!
NASCAR is done for.
I told my buddy years ago that we need an all white pro basketball league. He laughed and said, โgood luckโ. I said, put 7 white guys on every bench( 2 for potential injuries) and instead of โlet โem playโ, the popular euphemism for call no fouls ghetto ball, enforce the actual rules and voila before the end of the 1st qtrโฆyou got all white basketball.
That’s freakin’ great. I just start becoming a NASCAR fan just over a year ago, and already this is the second time they make news by bending over to the anti awake PC crowd. I’m done. My buddies may kiss off NASCAR as well because they see & hear as much as many of us have. America, land of elitists and missed opportunities.
