I'm sure this is completely accurate technology and isn't racist in any way. /S

It recognizes any race?

Well, maybe not the Indy 500, but probably would flag the Gran Prix since that's not 'MURICAN!

Than why is it called racism

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (1 children)
