The white dude was probably a racist POS but I wouldn’t let speed test drive my shyt either…. :mjlol:

50/50 chance he runs your shyt straight into a wall and comes back talking about “I think it has some mechanical issues!” And starts barking at you

lol nikkas in here saying this wasn’t racism :snoop:

Adin Ross gettin this treatment?
This was in Germany and Adin Ross is a small hat :mjpls: ......

But all in seriousness, in this scenario it really doesnt matter.

Speed may have meant no harm but his approach wasnt the best. He was on camera for starters in a different country/culture, touching all on the car with no permission, on his phone at the same time, speaking to someone whom English isnt their first language, and was asking inane questions like "is it for sale?" or "how much it cost?" (there was a sign indicating both), "is it street legal?" (the guy was trying to tell him it has a license plate which tells most of the German registration info) "how much he paid? (why does that matter?)" and can he take it for a spin (this isnt a American dealership so the German had no obligation to say yes).

This was a car show/sale event and those guys are enthusiasts and hobbyists. They go to these events to break bread with like minded people, not have to explain the whole concept.

Speed asking those questions, in that demeanor, indicates he wasnt really taking it serious or taking the time to understand facts before speaking. Hes young and his brand is immaturity and brashness, so i expect as much.

With that said, im all for calling out racism but folks need to understand that decorum is a thing and American culture isnt universal or authoritative. Certain spaces (especially foreign countries) are under no obligation to take you as you are. Youre on their soil and need to understand how they operate to move smoothly. Americans as a whole struggle to understand this concept.

:deadrose: Now that you mentioned it, don't even blame the gestapo ass cac. Dude already knew the meme already before Speed even opened his mouth and nostrils.
