I believe you misunderstood my point, by all means celebrate having representation in Motorsports. I was talking about the comments treating that as somehow ruining Motorsports. For me as a person very well represented all over the place it doesnt hurt me to see a woman drive a car, but for the little girls in the world that dream of a racing career it could be the difference in pursuing it or just giving up due to social pressures.
I just want to see cars go fast in a circle. Not sure why the driver matters.
sounds like you’ve not struggled with representation before, when representation is universal then it won’t matter anymore.

I think you ought to change your language to make your point more clear if you actually believe as you do.
“I just care about x, not sure why the race/gender/??? matters” is a common statement meant to diminish those who seek representation.
This is a comment under a meme disparaging those who think that way, to assume I’m agreeing with the comments in the picture is disingenuous at best.
