NASCAR inspector’s claim of racism has merit

Former NASCAR technical inspector Mauricia Grant filed a $225 million suit against NASCAR on Tuesday, alleging racial discrimination, sexual harassment and retaliatory termination.

I believe her accusations about discrimination and harassment, but don’t think she deserves that much in compensation.

Grant, who is black, was fired in October 2007, but NASCAR won’t say why. She started with the organization in January 2005.

NASCAR chairman Brian France denied Wednesday that she complained to her supervisors about the alleged behavior by some good old boys who worked with her in what as then the Busch Series.

France might not be a racist or sexist, but don’t rule out some of those who work for him.

How many folks do you know who say they won’t consider voting for presidential candidate Sen. Barack Obama because he is half Kenyan?

How many bigoted jokes do you receive in e-mails?

I grew up hearing anti-Semitic comments from people who didn’t know I was Jewish.
