    Why is the term "BLACK WARRIOR" never used?

    Why is it I hear terms like Aztec Warrior, Pinoy Power, Brave Mexican Warrior, Italian Stallion, Eurostyle boxer, etc...

    I've heard those terms associated with fighters such as Manny, Fernando Vargas, Erik Morales, Sven Ottke, Klits, Margarito, etc...

    However, when African American fight fans use terms like "African American style of boxing" or any other race related superlative, it's shunned upon or even called racist.

    What's up with that?

      Because its some term that no one ever used, its no more simple than that.

      Mexican fighters have the stereotype as fighters for being comr forward brawler types who will take 3 to land one and I think most ppl have the stereotype of black fighters as more slicksters.

      Though of every racial or ethnic group there are example of different style fighters.....its all about how one group perceives themselves and how other groups perceive that group of ppl.

        Because Black isn't a country or ethnicity?

          African warrior?

          There are times when the word black is used, and it is questioned "Why you gotta say black"

          Perhaps that is one reason.

            You're confusing nationality/regionality with race.

            I have no problem with folks chanting USA! USA!,
            but folks shouting "White Power!" are racists. If
            you're itching to shout "Black Power!" the same
            way, then fuck you and your racist ass.
