7. Geez. Let's put this in perspective. MASCAR is affraid to alienate the latino audience and money... Otherwise why would anyone be so upset? It's just a verbal gaffe from a white gut that has been an upstanding citizen for decades... If you really want to get upset, how about getting irritated at all the illegal latinos commiting violent crimes on the rest of us? THAT should piss you off! How much beer do you think NASCAR sells to illegals at their events?

11. WOW, seriously? Fired???? So, if it had been an Italian dude, and he said he was off eating spaghetti he'd be fired? How about if it was a French dude and he said he was off eating pastries? What if it had been a German fella.... etc. etc. GOOD LORD! Are we this sensitive now? BUT hey, David Letterman still has his job. This world is insane!

12. OMG, do you think he would have been suspended if he had said...enter Italian sounding name here... he's off having a pizza? Of course not...Geez everyone needs to get a grip. It was a joke. If you didn't think it was funny, don't laugh. It's SO not worth getting offended over or suspended over!!!
