That’s your opinion. I didn’t remember his name whilst making the comment hence I described him based on how he identifies himself publicly with his yamaka.
Prince Naseem was described based on his religion a lot of times during his career because he made it part of his identity throughout his career. I see people use “the Mexican…”, “the black…”, “the Slav…”, “the English…”, “the Brixton…”, “the gypsy….”, “the American…”, “the African…”, etc. And no one says anything about. Why’s it problematic when it comes to ***s? Eddie Hearn is a *** and he used “Alabama” and “Country” to describe Wilder a lot of times. Arum does the same about all races of people all the time and he’s a ***s. But why the double standard when it comes to identifying ***s?
If you described Reynoso as "the fat mexican" or Wilder as "the ****** black" they would all be problematic descriptions, not that these are religions.
To be clear, the main issue is the pejorative. If an article say Canelo is the first mexican to do this or that, that is fine. If you were to saying Salita is the first ***ish promoter to achieve this or that, that would also be fine.
My issue is, as stated several times, the whiff of the pejorative in what you wrote.Comment
