Part I.
Ralph Bellamy was breathtaking. That was one of the greatest performances I've ever seen in a two-hour, dramatic TV presentation. No wonder they called the 1950s the Golden Age of live TV theater. The only performance I’ve seen on a two-hour TV drama that was more powerful was by Edward Asner as the German immigrant father in the first two hours of Irwin Shaw’s Rich Man, Poor Man, from 1976.
Note that Asner is present in this cast, as a juror (far left, front row) who has no lines, so Bellamy may have given him an assist.

I'm not a racing fan and never heard of Kyle Larson but know him now because he was caught using the n word while playing some online racing game (check out the hyperbole employed by espn): https://www.espn.com/racing/story/_/id/29031596/kyle-larson-racial-slur-throws-nascar-diversity-gains-reverse
I suppose this would just be another case of a white being excoriated for the use of a racial slur, something blacks get a free pass on all the time, but it turns out he is 1/2 Japanese, which, according to some, means he should qualify for the free pass also. Except there are a couple of problems, first off he doesn't look Asian, he looks white and he doesn't have a Japanese name. Now is his name was Kiroshawa and he looked ethnic then the whole presentation of the affair could be spun differently, as it is the news stories will always have a caucasian looking man with a European name attached to them. Not all, a few are sticking with him, likely because of his ancestry, if he were pure white his career would undoubtedly be over: https://www.foxnews.com/auto/major-sponsors-drop-nascars-kyle-larson
He was actually being touted as a "diversity pioneer" in the racing industry due to his ancestry: https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2018/sep/20/kyle-larson-nascar-asian-japanese-american-playoffs
It's not about facts, it's about presentation and imagery, something that played out similarly with George Zimmerman, whose hispanic/black ancestry, and mestizo looks were downplayed and ignored by the media which put his very white sounding name out there as if that meant he was pure white. The driver Larson called the n word wasn't even black, it was a white men and obviously he was using the word facetiously, or in that way that wiggers use it among themselves to ape blacks because they are the kind of whites that are so insecure they have to adopt black identity. Maybe Larson thought it was OK for him to say it because of his ancestry but he thought wrong, the media is always frantically searching for it's next race hoax headline. Larson is now bowing and scraping to the gods of political correctness hoping to salvage his career while NASCAR virtue signals to the nth degree: https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/motorsports/kyle-larson-issues-apology/ar-BB12zm8K
