Users You Suspect Are Siding Along Racial Lines

I'll admit that I pretty much only root for Welsh fighters.

That's not racist, that's being nationalistic. It would be racist if you only cheered for white Welsh fighters.

There is Nothing wrong in doing that.

What if it was, especially against black fighters?

LOL

I'm Korean so unless In Jin Chi is fighting, I don't care who wins.

Anybody who roots only for their own race is not a racist. I noticed at the fights I've been to, that black people almost always root for black fighters - but that doesn't make them racist. There are at least 20 members here who always root for the black guy, but I don't consider them racist for that.

Racism to me is hatred of people because of their race. The people who hate and constantly attack boxers because of their race, are clearly racist. Some people here show a jealousy of successful white fighters. There are some here who frequently ridicule Wlad and Calzaghe and others because they are white - the more successful a white fighter is, the more ridicule he receives! This is because they deeply believe white boxers are inferior, and when a white guy wins, it shakes that belief.

Strangely, there are also some self-hating white people who love black fighters and hate white boxers.

I can name names, but we all know who the racists are..

I root for fighters of all nationalities and races. The ones I don't like are loud-mouthed braggarts and poor sports, and those of weak character. I detest runners, and although I appreciate a good defensive fighter, I prefer a courageous come-forward fighter like Calzaghe.

I like fighters with courage and heart in the ring, who walk down their opponents. Although I'm not Mexican, all the Mexican fighters I've seen have those qualities, so I tend to almost always root for them.

Is it not ironic you used racism against white fighters like there is NONE against African Americans?

All bull **** aside, I think boxing, being such a global sport, it's more of a NATIONAL thing, then a racial thing these days.

Racism is much more then just hating someone of a different race. Imagine if you took that same line of thought over into the job market. Can you not see how it would be racist to only seek and hire white employees because that's who your comfortable with? That doesn't mean you hate black people, for example, it could simply mean you just don't think about them.

Honestly, how I read your post is that your aware of that racism traditionally flows from white down and your simply trying to level things by convincing people that blacks can be racist too. You have to take into consideration the past and present history of racism to realize that we don't currently live an equal society.

Personally, living with lies does nobody any good. Boxing is an international sport. It's a brotherhood. Boxers are the least racist athletes in the world. I wish I could say the same for some of the fans. Seeing an issue like this from all points of view can be helpful and enlightening.

If you don't have basic faith in people that's fine. That's your right.

HAHAHAHAHA, thats the funniest thing I have seen in a while. Boxers are the least racist people in sports?????

They are th eonly athletes outside of the olympics that consistantly bring in their nations flags into the ring. Not to mention the COUNTLESS times I have heard a fighter insult anothers nationallity or race......get real.
