sergio is white. "argentine" or "latin" is NOT a race, LOL.

lol whats the point of this thread?

i was wondering where it came from at first but i think it might be a continuation of the martinez vs pavlik fight

where some guy was saying a latino beat his white ass and some people were like "huh? theyre both white", sergios race has popped up ever since then

its quite silly really but you get drawn into discussing it once you read someone elses opinion then you're part of the conversation

One reason the race topics get so much heat around here is the most inflammatory posters are all race baiters.

1. I have never heard a latin person say they are white
2. I have never heard anyone from another country associate themselves by color.

so does that make the middle east black & the people in china white?

I'm surprised BPP has let this thread go beyond 10 pages.

people on this site are ******ed !!!! its about DNA ! not which country your born in for **** sake. Personally id say argentinos are white, over 80% are of italian or spanish decent. Is amir khan "white" just because he's born in the uk ? i rest my case.

Why does anyone's skin colour always become such a issue on here?

However in the case of Martinez, in the most general human categorization, he is considered White, "White Latin American".

Race is such a taboo subject in the media that a lot of people genuinely pretend to not understand the difference between country and race.

Sergio is non-white because he was born in what Americans see as an "ethnic country" (whatever the **** "ethnic" means)

Lennox Lewis = British. Just British.

What a confusing disaster discussing this on the internet is

Everything's got to be a race thing here in BS.

That's weird because "Latin" means European and all "Latin" culture and language is originally white...

"Latino" means people of all races who live in the part of the Americas which were subject to Latin (Mostly Spanish, with some Portuguese and Italian) conquest. Historically the premier Latin powers were Rome and France.

I think you're suffering from the common lack of education in the "PC" world where you think race means skin color. Race is based on inheritance andbone structure. Short term changes like having a tan or having offspring with different hair colors do not change your race.

The middle east, just like "Latino", contains multiple races. Many northern middle easterners are pure white and in north Africa there's obviously some mixture with Africans. In the central-eastern areas there are Asiatic genes because of nomadic invasions.

This thread is a perfect example of why the human race has segregated themselves from each other based on varying physical and cultural differences. We are all ****** bigoted motherfuc kers who think "others" don't know ***** and whatever group we identify ourselves with has corned the market on being correct.90% of you idiots that posted on here should reread your posts and take some time to reflect on how ****** you are.
