So much for free speech. All of mexico is a shithole but that's not the issue. People have a right to say offensive things. Liberals are so intolerant.

This comes two days after the race weekend at Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez in Mexico, where Hocevar finished 34th. Little did he know that the week was about to get worse after he called Mexico City a "s**t hole" on a Twitch live stream.
