Can a car be racist

[martinw-48]

So there's a lot of people that lose their .... over this particular car

Is it possible for a car to be racist. Back when this TV show was made there wasn't the controversy over this particular car.

I realise that times have changed but it was good family entertainment in it's day

That's the Buddhist symbol of peace

There was a ker**bleep**le a few years ago  year about the sale of items that could be seen as having a negative

impact on eBay and the confederate flag and nazi emblems were part of that and were supposed to be banned.

So they probably lost sales and back tracked on that.

Which now seems a bit weird as there was a big protest in the US in 2015? where they wanted that flag removed

due to being part of the slavery era and as such it was a reminder that they wanted gone and it was also in

the possession of a mass killer who was a racist.

 What does that flag mean to you from an Australian prospective ?

Joz, I found that picture on the net but I thought there must have been another car.
I'm against tobacco but couldn't give a flying .... about an ex racing car still sporting it's tobacco advertising.
I have Scalextric cars with various tobacco companies advertising on.
Years ago when they released the first Brock Marlboro Torana they did it without the Marlboro signage and you had to buy transfers to add on yourself.
Now they put a disclaimer on the boxes.
In fact the Brock Marlboro A9X should be released this year

There were three! ***trying to think of the third

They had that infamous one-two-three finish at Wanneroo raceway

Roges, I'm actually against all flags.
Flags to me are a symbol of derision.
I love the show and the car.
I'm completely neutral about the flag.
To me it's a difficult item to reproduce in paint so I have to buy a decal set to achieve the correct finish for a correct model

You're the one who likes to appear erudite. Surely it's not a hard ask for you to use correct spelling for your posts. I am erudite, and I ocassionally make typos, but I don't use words that don't mean what I am trying to say.

Google could be your friend. Or double-check what your phone thinks you mean. I don't trust my phone to know what I'm thinking. In fact, I'd be appalled if my phone knew what I was thinking.
