What on earth are you talking about? There is zero content in moorx's post that could be construed as even slightly racist, or even back-handed. Perhaps you misread, or misunderstood the post?

I think you might have misread the post and taken it completely at face value and without context. Or else just skim-read it and formed a totally incorrect impression and then gone off half-cocked.

I think the post is supposed to be humorously sarcastic. I guess either way there'll be some parrots flying shortly...

I would have known about Nicolas' success, because I watched the BTCC coverage at the weekend. It was great to see him doing well and celebrating with his family after the race. At the time, I thought it was a shame Lewis didn't seem to be there, especially with the break in F1, so I'm really pleased to see that he was but allowed Nicolas the limelight he deserved.

Good on both of them!

I don't know if you got the memo but this is the Hamilton thread.

You need to feed in an underlying racial narrative into each post somehow.

At the very minimum a comment must be backhanded.

Tsk. Wholesome content on topic. Whatever next.

It's quite bizarre. Inventing outrage to be able to express own outrage. Projection perhaps.

Parrots for MustangGT and nickfrog!

Don't worry EmailAddress, I got it! as did moorx

I am mystified, please explain why the parrot?

Nic is a great guy and talented driver, and that Facebook post puts his struggles into perspective.

And to be honest how else is Lewis supposed to go under the radar to not steal any limelight? Wear a pair of Marx Brothers’ plastic glasses, nose and moustache? Also, given the current proliferation of Covid he was likely hedging his bets for Baku.

It would be hilarious if Lewis reads this thread (I mean, he probably does, right?) and he goes to the next race with the glasses/nose/moustache trick...

Try re-reading and comprehending what you quoted. And also my reply to you. And also MarkwG's reply to you.

It was clear to anyone (apart from you, it seems) that the poster was joking and being humorously sarcastic / ironic.

I get it about being a sarcastic post, I just don't get the parrot thing... English not being my first language. Can someone maybe explain?

Ah, thanks, I know the whoosh, but never seen the parrot mentioned before. It's funny that it mentions Pistonheads too!

How are we supposed to know when somebody is being sarcastic? Normally I would expect some sort of smilie to indicate that.

So, based on the original post and the comment made that I responded to, there is nothing to indicate sarcasm.

I dunno, employ basic comprehension perhaps? Use a couple of brain cells? Type with both hands in order to allow some blood to return to the brain?

Sorry MGT but it was very obviously a sarcastic post

Suggest you buy a sarcastomometer (or if you're already using one, make sure it's switched on)

Sorry, are you being sarcastic / humorous? I am completely unable to tell without smileys.

There are non-English people also in the forum, it doesn't mean that they don't have brain cells, merely that there could be a language barrier. So yeah, be a bit more mindful please?

I was just being humorous. Hence the smiley.

Siao on behalf of lazy British native speakers I congratulate you for being so effectively multi-lingual. However if you're asking Brits not to be sarcastic you're on a hiding to nothing.

I was probably seeing red by the time I got to the end of the sentence and missed the smiley (can't find a facepalm one!!)

Oh don't worry, I know that. However, after nearly 30 years here, it still gets me sometimes!

This is of course not me, it's an actual gangster as you can tell by the attire.

Stop making this thread all about you.
