It was something along the lines of Lewis Hamilton not appearing bothered about racism in the past and he was surprised he was bothered by a Spanish Fan taunting him with a black face costume? He also felt that the fact it's a primarily a white represented sport wasn't a problem etc

Alcohol is the answer but I can't remember the question!

The comments I can immediately find are a suggestion that black people can be more racist than white people.
The presence of those seeking the truth is infinitely to be preferred to the presence of those who think they've found it.
(Sir Terry Pratchett)
Yes it was that black people are sometimes more racists and that sport 'doesn't have time to deal with racism'
and
“I don’t think anyone bothered about it before. They’re too busy trying to win races or find sponsors or something. Really other things that are of little if any interest.”
And Hamilton probably summed up what most people are thinking
'“It makes complete sense to me now that nothing was said or done to make our sport more diverse or to address the racial abuse I received throughout my career. If someone who has run the sport for decades has such a lack of understanding of the deep-rooted issues we as black people deal with every day, how can we expect all the people who work under him to understand. It starts at the top'
