called out Kelly's father after he used a Brazilian Portuguese racial slur to describe Hamilton in an interview. “It’s more than language. These are archaic mindsets [that] need to change and have no place in our sport,” Hamilton tweeted at the time. “I’ve been surrounded by these attitudes and targeted my whole life. There has been plenty of time to learn. Time has come for action.”
Nelson Sr. later claimed his comments were taken out of context. “What I said was ill-thought-out, and I make no defense for it, but I will clarify that the term used is one that has widely and historically been used colloquially in Brazilian Portuguese as a synonym for ‘guy’ or ‘person’ and was never intended to offend," he told CNN in a statement. “I would never use the word I have been accused of in some translations.
Max, for his part, said Nelson Sr. was"definitely not a racist" but condemned his remarks."I think the wording that was used, even with the different kind of cultures and things they probably said when they were younger, was not correct," Max told reporters at the time."Let it be a lesson for the future not to use that word because it's very offensive, especially nowadays — it gains more traction.
