Public Display of Racism!

Lord-a-mercy

Blackface, Spanish F1 fans? Blackface? Why go to all the trouble when it's so much easier to throw bananas at the poor guy or something? Blackface is pretty much exclusively the tool of the 30s racist, at least over here. Even mentioning it hearkens back to an era long before my parents were born. Honestly, my grandparents weren't really around in its heyday.

Also, just for your personal edification, "family" is spelled with only one "l". It's a baffling error because in your native tongue, the double-L is actually a completely different sound that has nothing to do with the single-L, so rather than spelling it sort of phonetically as you understood it, you started flailing at random.

It's also worth noting that there's some incredible racism in sports scandal in Spain every couple of years, which is really quite baffling. I'm not sure how being the only country in Western Europe where people think it's a good idea to open make racial taunts is working out for them, but I'm guessing not that great.
