Well you'd have to look hard to find a company that used more slave labour than Mercedes in the 1940s.i don't get the negative comments on this thread, what exactly are you hoping to achieve?
no one is forcing you to get onboard with the BLM movement either politically or morally, Merc have already made their decision & afiaa none of you have the ear of anyone influential
If you're that bothered, either don't support the Mercs this weekend or don't buy a Merc in the future
because white folk trying to stop other white folk supporting non white folk, looks as ridiculous as it sounds

Regarding the supposed racism in Formula one in not hiring enough minorities, that is another unquantifiable narrative influenced by the general BLM attitudes. As far as I am aware, if you are black or from an ethnic minority then the colour of your skin won't hinder you one bit. In this day and age it will most likely help you. (see previous posts about most companies wanting more 'diverse' work forces).
All Mercedes are doing is pandering to Hamilton's awfully boresome bandwagon jumping and to this pointless woke agenda in a pathetically shallow way. It's helping no one.
Makes you wonder if Hamilton or Mercedes have even looked at the data ?All Mercedes are doing is pandering to Hamilton's awfully boresome bandwagon jumping and to this pointless woke agenda in a pathetically shallow way. It's helping no one.
No mention of the white victims killed by Police.
Afterall, Hamilton is half white.

Mercedes aren't on-board with BLM either. That little mis-assumption is behind about half of the posts on this thread.no one is forcing you to get onboard with the BLM movement either politically or morally, Merc have already made their decision & afiaa none of you have the ear of anyone influential

Those stats bear no relevance on what is being protested against. It's not about how many of which ethnicity get themselves into activities where they are at risk of the police opening fire upon them... It's about the hidden % of each that are harmed/killed/mistreated in some way due to their skin colour.No mention of the white victims killed by Police.

Good luck finding THOSE statistics. It's the police that write the reports after each incident, after all. And there is often no footage to show if the treatment was truly reasonable or not.
The media is portraying Police killings as a black thing.
On my first trip to LA I discovered first hand just how forceful the Police are. The suspects were white and they would have received a lighter kicking at a Millwall match, before being bundled into the truck.
British police are gentlemen by comparison.

I completely understand the disability logic but why should someone be guaranteed an interview simply due to their heritage?? Its bizarre. That is not equality of opportunity so much as positive discrimination.
Because it's been proven, over and over again, that unconscious bias exists and negatively impacts people of BAME backgrounds. If, statistically, certain groups are less likely to be shortlisted despite having similar quals/experience as others, guaranteeing an interview at least removes one of those steps where unconscious bias can form a barrier to entry.It goes much, much deeper than that, but it's a small practical step that can be taken to at least try and balance things out a little.

Why isn't Bottas wearing a white suit?

Lewis might be too - but he's chosen to cover it up.

The BBC for instance reached 15% of its employees from BAME a couple of years ago and is on target to achieve 20% soon.
It has also deployed numerous initiatives where only BAME candidates can apply.

Britain has come a long way from just Trevor McDonald and Lenny Henry.
Other countries would do well to look and learn.

Well you'd have to look hard to find a company that used more slave labour than Mercedes in the 1940s.OK, let's write a collective PH letter to Mercedes, telling them that they shouldn't be trying to help raise awareness of racism and promote equality because 80 years ago they used slave labour.
Instead, let's tell them they should do nothing. Not try and help the cause at all, because they jolly well have no right to. They can keep their money and their influence and use it for other things which they are allowed to support.
Honestly.....
