Boxing fuels alot of racism

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.

True. Some aspects of human nature can never be supressed.

QFT. Not to say that there isn't racism but the majority of the time when people cry racism it is simply Tribalism. There is nothing wrong with tribalism, it's innate. Just in some parts of the world where uber-*******ism is preached so hard that showing pride and accepting differences is said to be eeeeeeeevil.


On that same note, some people are indoctrinated so successfully that they hate on their own tribe because they're so scared of being perceived as 'racist' e.g.

i find it fun actually, brings the people within the country together and something to be proud of

Nobody takes that **** seriously in real life. Fans will root for their countrymen, but they won't go attackin other fighters and their fans.

Yeah. So true. Some people are now accusing Pacman of steroids because Asians aren't supposed to be that strong. Am i right? But if it was Latino or Black going up in different weight classes they're all time greats.

ANONYMITY fuels a lot of racism.

I go to a multi-ethnic, multi-racial barber shop. we sit there and talk boxing for 2-3 hours while we wait, or just hang around. Guys talk about who beat whom, who CAN beat whom, and style and technique. Never a racial comment.

Then you come online, and guys are calling each other idiots or ****** or insulting others' nationalities etc.

Whenever you turn on the Tv, you may see guys express pride for their own nationality, but you don't see them insulting others. Then you come on to BoxingScene or Youtube and they spout the racist nonsense.

If somebody says something you disagree with:

Barber shop response: "Nah, man. You're tripping"

BoxingScene response : "You're a ****ing idiot"

that means playing the victim

I don't understand why people think race even matters! Me and my family were big De La Hoya fans and that didn't change when he faced Quartey, Carr, Mosley, Hopkins, or even Mayweather. Oscar had something about him that made people wanna watch him.

I just find it ignorant for people to hate on somebody for their race, I like lots of different fighters, infact I like lots of Mexican fighters.

Well its not just boxing,its Youtube period.. It doesnt matter what video it is,alot of ignorant people on there post racist **** because they cant do it in person..
