    So perhaps if Rolly is cuban and the guy asking is also CUBAN, thats a rooting interest, isnt it? Boxing is a tribal sport and people like to root for their own. BUT u gotta be careful so u dont start talking down on other races or peoples instead of rooting for your own!
    Best post so far. I’m Cuban, and I naturally tend to root for Cubans in their fights. I think it’s perfectly fine to root for the person you most identify with, whether it be by nationality, race, religion — whatever. The problem becomes when people start to buy too much into the superiority of their own. That’s a slippery slope. And, sadly, it’s an almost inevitable byproduct of combat sports.

      To answer the OP’s question: Romero is of Cuban descent. But he’s racially mixed. Someone said his mom is half-black and his dad is white. But that doesn’t tell the whole story when it comes to most Caribbean Latinos. The admixture of races in us is off the chain. If you look at me, you might think I’m white — or not. I carry about 75% European DNA, mostly from Spain and Portugal. But I’m 13% indigenous Cuban, 1% Mexican and 1% Central American native. The rest is mostly African. I’ve been mistaken for everything, most often Puerto Rican and Italian (usually Sicilian). Anyway, I’ll wager anything that Rolly is far more mixed than simply “mulatto.”

              If you are 75% Spanish then you are white. Just deal with it.
