Racism at the races?

Well, duh? We're mostly rednecks, so I imagine there are probably a few in the bunch. Most folks I know will leave you alone if you leave them alone. Pretty much the same with me.

But, let me explain. Apparently, Dateline is searching for Arab-Americans willing to go to big sporting events and see if they're hassled. We're not talking about the guy who runs the quickee-mart, but they want people with the little hat-thingees and the full beard who "look Muslim." They apparently sent them out to the races at Martinsville and rumor is they plan to send them to Texas Motor Speedway this weekend. Because, you know, there are so many Muslims who are big race fans. It is the smell of brats cooking out among the travel-trailers and the hot dogs and corndogs cooking at the track. Yes, indeedy, Muslims are big fans of scantily clad hoochie mamas, too.

People, people, people. It is sort of like sending me to a Democratic party event wearing a Bush shirt. I'm gonna stand out and the chances of me getting picked on are pretty good. But, I digress. I would bet that pretty much anyone who goes to TMS and doesn't try to bug people will be left alone. Ok, except the hoochie mamas strutting their stuff. They'll get hassled to show their tits or something, but you sort of expect that at the races.

I'll be at the O’Reilly 300 NASCAR Busch Series race on Saturday. I'll also be especially kind to everyone I see, too. Not that I'm usually not, unless I'm PMSing and I'm done with that now. I don't think Kasey Kahne is going to be in my race and that makes me sad, but I'll keep checking to see.
