C'mon, friends, this is a theme to tiptoe around, please. If I seem to try to find a reasonable explanation, is because I think this is normally the better way, in this and in most other bussiness.
Some people thinks that my position as latino about racism means I'm racist or that I condone racism. Ha! Are you nuts?
C'mon, breathe...
On thread, I pointed out to the same fact that is repeated three or four times in the BBC link that Ben provided to us: '"There were about 55,000 fans present over the three days of testing," said Croft. "(Some) were chanting nasty stuff and booing him when he made his way from the garage to the McLaren area at the back.
We've never seen that at Formula One events. The officials at the circuit drafted in extra security guards to the stands and put some fences around the team area."'
I remember
another booing from the fans, but I cannot reproduce the photo from USA 2005, respecting this forum as much as I can. Here it is, anyway:

This means to me that spanish fans (at least the sample at the track) hate Hamilton guts,
racists included. 
Or, by some leap of imagination, will you conclude that the 55.000 persons present were ALL racists? Has the news
become that ALL spaniards at Catalunya said racists epithets? The whole stand was booing him.
Calling them young or naive falls in the same falacy. Are ALL of them young or naive?
No, my fellow forumers, nothing short of Alonso "redemption" this year can calm the diehard spaniard fans.
The sad truth is that the capital Hamilton has with the "fan base" outside of England is extremely low. He, certainly in an unjust way, carries a heavy weight on his shoulders, but if some driver can be called
The McLaren driver is him.
It is a consequence of McLaren cheating and of the juggling they performed to come out with their honour intact. I like the "Ferrari way"
much more: when caught, you're caught and you're the bad guy, you live with it. You don't blame Massa, for example, or "rogue employees" to discover six months later that everybody and his cat knew.
Trying to blurr it by taking a photo of three morons black faced does not hide the fact that
other thousands were calling Hamilton a cheater. Under that circumstances, a racist can impunely say whatever he wishes, a thing that in a "normal" GP would be impossible.
To the comments to my post, I would like to add two things:
Arguing that "my country is not racist, but Spain is" is a thing bordering dellusion. There are racists even in Latin America, where nobody is white, me included.
Secondly, if FIA is not racist, in the sense that does not
forbid people with less income to become racers, the sad truth is that there are, how should I put it, tinges of
discrimination, in the sense that it has started to favor blatantly those with money in the last two decades, in what most people here agrees is a sport. How can that be?
Europe is heading this sport, to be frank. Where are they guiding it?
It's a sport or it isn't? If you favor money over athletic abilities (
blatantly, I repeat, and without any "compensation mechanisms"), then it is a sport in the same way yatch racing is: not for me, or for 95% of the people, who are not rich.
Another sad truth we have to change, consequence of the aforemetioned, is that the "pinnacle" thing has taken away the FIA from
karting and the fans from
racing. Both, FIA and fans, are obsessed with TV. The same thing happened to football and look where it took it: to hooliganism.
