Exposing Anti-Khan/Racist Sentiment In UK Boxing

The conditions of Pakistanis/Asians in the UK is very similar to the conditions of African Americans in the 1950s and 1960s. They are treated like 3rd class citizens and Khan could use his fame as a World champion to shine a light onto the great injustices imposed on his people and the daily humilations they face going on thier day to day business. However Khan is not Ali, It would be nice if he could use his boxing to highlight his peoples treatment but I feel he is more interested to use boxing to fill his pockets. Afterall he is a boxer not a boxer/Civil rights activist. Thats why Ali is rightfully called the Greatest, He not only was the greatest boxer but ultimately the greatest ambassador and civil rights activist for his people. GTFO here with that utter shit!!! The nerve of you to even say that, the UK is one of the most tolerance countries in the world, Yes there would be racism here and there but to compare us to the african-american in the 60's is taking a piss.

Joe Gallagher is an Irish Gypsy traveller that knows more about Irish bareknuckle boxing in backstreets and carparks than professional boxing. He is also the trainer of the lustreless, flat-footed and one diamensional John Murray the British lightweight champion who also won a vacated European title recently. This trainer is a prime example of the Anti-Khan/Racist setiment that brews in the UK boxing that is not found elsewhere such as the US. For instance Joe Gallagher says: "Amir is a weight division ahead and should be looking at fights with people in his own weight division" http://www.boxingscene.com/?m=show&id=28388 Then goes on to have a wet-dream about a Khan-Murray matchup saying: "As for the main event – that’s between Manchester’s two premier fighters at the moment, WBA light-welterweight champion, Amir Khan, up against European and British lightweight king, John Murray." http://menmedia.co.uk/sport/boxing/s/1241234_joe_gallagher_column Basically he contradicts himself regularly with his vitriolic attacks on Khan, I dont blame him as a person but the lack of education in the UK education system. Its not his fault that he is so imbued with racism which is indoctrinated from a young age into the British/English youth from a young age. He goes on to say that in another interview that Khan is basically so scared of domestic dangerman John Murray that he has fled to the safety of the United States to fight cats like Malignaggi, Maidana, Marquez, Casamayor. Seen here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w7BIHAXKX_4 and again here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RSl1sOKY-sI I hate to say it but the hatred of Khan and Pakistani/Asians in the UK is so ingrained im not sure its possible for boxing in the UK, And British people in general to free themselves from the shackles of intolerance and stop Britian from becoming a factory floor that produces the most skinheads and racists in the worlds. Regards. Errr.......where exactly is the evidence of racism? Khan has been booed many times by the british fans. He was seriously booed at the Hatton-Pac weigh-in. I believe there is racism in the hostility, but also many people think of him as a hyped, protected, arrogant fighter. Hamed was very popular pre-9/11, and his popularity was because he was amazingly entertaining and won most fights by brutal KO. There are problems now in the UK between white and Asian muslims, but that isnt the whole story when it comes to Khans situation.

The OP is talking out his arse, how is racism a huge problem in the UK? Let me guess you going for BNP to back you up? Or a couple of people shouted racist comment during a fight? Compared to the USA, the UK is a racial hermony and you obviously dont have a clue about anything outside your own door step!

This is such a sensative issue and i dont want to offend anybody cos i pressume your asian hard boiled? and btw if tht is referance to the chow yun fat film then nice :P haha anyways im white british and live in devon which is mostly white in the rural areas but in city its multicultural... im not a racist... last year i volunteered in nepal for 10 weeks, i have friends from all sorts of differant places, a man could be any colour, i dont mind.... but in saying that... it really can be annoying when a lot of people come into our overcrowed country and take up space and work, now im not blaming the immagrants cos id do the same in their situation but when is the government gunna put a cap on the amount of people coming in? also its not fair to blame white people for race hate when there has been a lot of extremist terrorist group activity lately... lots of people threatening to bomb us and attempting to... in 1998 our football team was under target for a failed bomb attack and they will try again this year no doubt... 2012 olympics will be a big target and i wont be going there like many others due to fear of attacks, now im rele rele not racist but can u blame the tension in the country on white racists? it could be any terror group... and coming in the country such as Polish people now... they r white but still get hated on... and anyways asides from that Khan is huge in the UK he is the most popular UK fighter asides from ricky....

Why are people still trying to rationalise with this guy? He's obviously taking the piss...

Khan has a lot of support in the UK apart from the Irish and Scottish people generally (they hate most english fighters and inhertitly racist, wont be going glasgow or to ireland again; all mouth but no action chavs) yes there racism but thats mostly typical northern chavs who are un-educated and where theres alot of jealousy. most of his hate is simply down to his supossedly cockyness and pure jealousy.

Chris Eubank, David Hate and Lennox Lewis are black, Im talking about Asians in this thread. Also Naseem Hamed was hated during his time, Its only now that people have started liking him. British people were dancing in the streets when Hamed lost to Barrera and Khan lost to Prescott. some people liked khan and they were upset when he lost and some people hated him and they were cheering when he lost,ive got asian mates,i mean british pakistianis that were happy and over the moon when khan got knocked out,what does that make them????are they racist too?
