Don't you remember Felix Trinidad?. So it's okay that he degrades the dark Puerto rican kid from San Juan and his entire background/culture, but all hell breaks loose and people are threating to boycott when he makes one slick comment about not being beaten by a "white guy"? Double standard?

I personally was shocked to see them specifically from Hopkins. Among hispanics of different nations, I don't pretend to understand the feelings and such. But I've watched most Hopkins fights from Philly in packed houses of white Philadelphians cheering Hopkins on. So yeah this one bothered me.

Of course you are, so you couldn't care less about Trinidad's people. You have exemplified my point well and I commend you for your honesty.
