A NASCAR driver has lost a corporate sponsor because his father once used the n-word in a radio interview. The incident happened before the driver was even born.

ELKHART LAKE, Wis. (AP) — Lilly Diabetes has pulled its sponsorship of Conor Daly’s No. 6 car in the NASCAR Xfinity race at Road America, citing a racially insensitive remark made by the driver’s father in the 1980s that surfaced this week.
In a statement, [father Derek] Daly said he admitted to using a racial slur for African-Americans during a radio interview in the early 1980s. Daly, who had just moved to the United States then, said the term had a different meaning and connotation in his native Ireland.
It's stuff like this that led me to believe PCism and leftism is just a thinly veiled attack on whites period. They would never pull something that is essentially racist itself on anyone who wasn't white and they wouldn't be allowed to get away with it. I'm really starting to despise these corporations selectively enforcing PC.

They're all connected. It's one big incident involving the radio broadcaster for the Indianapolis Colts, the race car driver's dad, and now the driver.
I'm convinced some of these corporations due this kind of nonsense just for the free publicity. Lily Diabetes, anyone heard of them before this incident? I never have.
