What is truly the end goal for Kyle, NASCAR, Ganassi, Chevrolet, McDonald's, Credit One, etc? Kyle Larson is wrong to use this slur and he knows he is wrong. (IMO, so is everyone else that uses that slur.) Fixing Kyle Larson's insensitivity is simply a very small part of this larger divide. Corporate partners washing their sponsorship hands of Kyle Larson will initially get them off the hook of a very insensitive moment; pretending they are all about equality. BUT NASCAR, Ganassi, Chevrolet, McDonald's, Credit One, etc. are running from a corporate responsibility that will do very little to improve race relations. Be part of something bigger than your corporate self.

If the goal is to REALLY impact and improve race relations in the US, why not use this bi racial racing driver as a national campaign opportunity to confront all racism, racial comments and their divisive impact upon our country and its citizens. NASCAR, Chevrolet, McDonalds, Credit One could retain and require suspended NASCAR driver Kyle Larson to be a national spokesperson for a coordinated media campaign to attack and eradicate racial speech. This could be a very productive use of his national profile and bi racial status rather than dumping, running, and sweeping under the rug the elephant in the room. THAT would be sensitivity training all of us could use and an effective meaningful suspension/diversity training NASCAR, Chevrolet, McDonald's, Credit One have a great opportunity to provide!
