why does boxing fuel racism?

[Piggu]

It fuels nationalism too.

It was USA vs. Britain during Hatton/Floyd.

It's just the way it is.

People want to be a part of something.

They love drama.

...and negative karma deposited your way, son.

Because blacks, asians and puerto ricans don't have anything else to be proud about so they feel the need to isult people to make themselves feel better when their fighters do well.

I was joking by the way.

can the same be said about whites?You will see them throwing around racist comments also when their fighter gets knocked out or destroyed by a minority fighter

I kinda think ur right,but more than anything,it's just the ignorance of humans that just won't quit!!I can literally pick sooo many fighters of different colors who I love to watch fight,but I find myself here on boxing scene actually being upset over some of the **** ****** people say about fighters of different races!!If U can't be a fan of a fighter that's a different race or color,maybe u should find someplace where u & all the ****** people can go & hate in peace & keep ur patheticness to urselves!!I don't like to see it shared so easily!!

ya its very much about racial and nationalistic pride ... which can be good and bad.

[Glamour Puss]

Its not racism. Its tribalism and there's nothing wrong with that. Humans are inherently tribal animals and nationalism and ethnic pride are a reflection of that.

Racism is something totally different.
