This thread stems from Adam Carolla's statements regarding Pacquiao and Filipinos.
I know this forum is supposed to be about boxing but how do so many threads on this site turn into bashing of one's culture. You would think this is an isolated case here on this site but it's apparent even with Carolla's statements.
Carolla and many people who post here dont just critisize Pacquaio as a boxer but they turn negative comments towards a whole race. Yes I understand there are those "pactards" who follow the sport blind, but they are not a fair representation of the Filipino people.
I see posts turn into an emphasis on prostitution, sexuality, poverty, etc. in the philippines in order to discredit Pacquiao's success. Coming from one ignorant poster to another is one thing, but when you have a media personality put down an entire country it's really dispecable.
I dont know any other boxer who's race was as disrespected as Pacquiao's due to his success. The comments I see or hear are similar to those which you would think you'd only see when our world was ignorant and there was no such thing as civil rights. Which other top boxers have had their country or people disprespected due to a ever so humble man's success?
Carolla and many posters attack the filipino culture by talking about prostitution and sexuality, and think all we have to be proud of is Manny Pacquiao. What's sad is what we do have as a culture to be proud of is something which many people in our world do not appreciate.
As a Filipino I am proud of Pacquiao's success, but part of me cant wait for his retirement because the insults towards my culture just arent worth it.
I apologize for the lengthy rant, but I had to get it off my chest.
this link's all about black soldiers in the philippines during the war. a lot of them realized they were on the wrong side of the conflict.

It really isn't just racism towards Filipinos, it's towards the entire Eastern and South Eastern Asian culture, race, and ethnicity. Just take a look how we're depicted and neglected in Hollywood and in the music industry here in the U.S.. A great example would be the up coming new movie "The Last Airbender". They even came up with a website to protest this movie called Racebending.com, here it is if you care to know what the whole controversy is about.

But this is nothing new. Bruce Lee was supposed to be the main character for Kung Fu, instead they replaced him with a unknown white actor, David Carridine who knows nothing about martial arts. In regards to racism here, I do admit that there is racism on both sides, and some of my fellow Filipinos in here have gotten out of hand. Whether it was warranted or not, there is no excuse no matter what.

39 years old. That is what's truly pathetic. A 39 year old man trolling the Internet without ONE intelligent or insightful post.
hahahahahahah
Yeah sure i am trolling :/ . What i said is true the whole racism thing is blown way out of proportion and its sad that so many people are doing that . Complaining about racism hahah how fickle and sad . Yes i have seen one poster who was always being racist but besides that one troll i barelly see any racism around here yet its being talked as if it happens in every single thread .
The fact that you've had your account for 4 long years; and only have slightly over 500 posts shows me that you are not on these threads enough to provide any intelligent as well as current feedback on the subject at hand. Before you come to this grand conclusion that racism is not very common on these boards, you might want to interact on these threads with a higher level of enthusiasim, and stop turning the other cheek to what is very much prevalent throughout these boards. All of the "Boy", "chicken", "watermelon", and "monkey" posts I've seen on these boards outweighs your post count no less than 2-1. Get your mind correct before you comment on these boards, or we'll feed you to the sharks with this mindless dribble that you have the gall to post on here. You're posting with the big boys now, you're not in the kiddie pool anymore.
i have seriously learned that it doesnt matter what logical, factual, and truthful statement that you bring to these pactards. manny is there god and if you speak against him it is blasphemy. seriously in there minds they can never do any wrong or ever be questioned there god is pacman and he is the greatest of all time if you dont like then they will organize entire threads where they disscuss there plan of attack against you for exercising your right to free speech.

He's always looking to chime in with his obvious agenda. The fact that his post made no sense and was totally unrelated to the topic shows how dumb he is :lol1:
Right. Dude just started going and had no clue what he was talking about.
:stooges:
The whole racism thing is blown way out of proportion and its pathetic yet another way for mayweather fans to cry and complain .

I bumped this thread and it has NOTHING to do with Mayweather boxing, dude. LOL @ you going on a tangent and you don't even know what you are talking about. I bumped this for the Manny stans that say people should "get over" the racist comments that extremists Manny fans have made. Yet, they "order" someone else who made racists comments about Pinoys to apologize. That's the issue, dude.

And what are you being asked to "get over" exactly? That some people don't like Floyd's boring style, despite his prefight promises to the contrary? That they don't like him claiming to be greater than guys like Robinson and Ali? That they don't like him throwing fake money into the crowd, or bragging that "his sh!t is paid for," then seeing it get repo'd a few months later?
How does this relate in any way to the ignorant statements that Carrola made?

More rationalizations from Jim the Bigot. It's funny how he gets so offended when a black person stands up for himself against racial slurs :lol1: He wouldn't see the N word posted on here if it jumped out and slapped his inbred siblings lol
