Hamilton's quote in context

"With what he is saying, I don't like how he expressed it. Saying it was rappers was very stereotypical, and if you think most rappers are black, it really points it towards, 'We're not like them'.

"So I think those were the wrong choice of words, and there is a racial element there, but as I said, I agree with cleaning it up a little bit."

Thank you for posting this. Lewis Hamilton has always been measured and intelligent. It really bothers me how he gets misquoted or selectively quoted. Media is trash.
