IShowSpeed faces racism asking luxury car price
In the video, IShowSpeed, visibly upset and surprised, is confronted with the dismissive attitude of the salesman, who barely answered him and avoided clear and continuous communication. The salesman, not recognizing the internet celebrity, misjudged IShowSpeed by his looks and age, not knowing that he has the financial resources to buy that car or almost any other.
The conversation between IShowSpeed and the German seller clearly reflects the derogatory treatment. Speed showed interest in buying the car and repeatedly asked about the price and details of the car, but the salesman responded vaguely and avoided providing concrete information. Despite Speed's obvious seriousness, the salesman treated him with disdain, implying that he could not afford the vehicle.
Despite the mistreatment, IShowSpeed remained calm, although his frustration was evident. This incident highlights a persistent problem in society: prejudice based on appearance and purchasing power. In an era where equality and respect should prevail, this type of behavior is unacceptable.
The treatment IShowSpeed received underscores the importance of treating all people with equal dignity and respect, regardless of their appearance or age. In a just society, each individual deserves to be valued for who they are, not for their appearance or preconceived perceptions.
