NASCAR’s “Diversity Internship Program” is discriminating against white candidates while offering preferential treatment to other ethnicities—an action that can be grounds for suing the organization, claimed a law expert.

The paid internship program seeks to hire “diverse” undergraduate and graduate college students. A condition for joining the program is that the candidate should be “a member of one or more of the following races/ethnic minority classifications: Black or African American, American Indian or Alaska Native, Asian, Latino or Hispanic, Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander.”
