Opinion of Khan based on region of UK one lives in?

[-Lowkey-]

Mate England is tiny, I have spent plenty of time all around England, Scotland, and Wales. Went to Manchester Uni. America is huge, and in certain parts ie South East you will find extreme racist areas. Thus why I said West side of the US because I haven't been to vast parts of it.

That’s irrelevant the fact that England is so small means that racial tolerance can vary greatly within a close proximity for example in Birmingham as I have said it is very multicultural i don’t witness much racism the community is generally excepting. You drive 20mins outside Birmingham you might come across a small town/village with a 99% white population and they may very well be much less accepting of other cultures and races so again its not a fair comparison.

Exactly England is similar to most countries in that in the big multicultural cities racism is not as present as in the mostly predominantly white populated areas.

Yeah I would agree that is the state of things in Europe, but I have lived in suburbs mostly in Cali and it was still more multi-cultural and less racist. I go back normally once every couple of years and still the same, I don't feel racism at all there.

Well that is fine, but you are kind of proving my point, the fact that you can't go very far before you encounter what may be a village or population which aren't so friendly and the fact that the country is predominently white, it is never going to be as integrated, and in this case my experience pretty much mirrors Khan's, as he has alluded to a similar account of things seeing as he probably spends half his time in LA, even though I lived 7 hour drive away from there. The most fair way would probably be to compare England and California directly even though England has a greater population, I can vouch that Cali is way less racist like I have mentioned in my previous posts. It is up to you whether you want to take the info on board or not, it is of my personal experience and nothing else. Either way I couldn't give a toss.

Amir Khan is my favourite fighter, but let's not pretend all ********** are innocent victims. A lot of Pakistani communities are just as racist as 'white' communities.

I'm white and I've never once been treated politely in a Pakistani owned shop or takeaway.

Not once?

Bloody hell you need to actually start talking to them mate! I doubt you're prejudiced but its just that statement means you've never known the guy behind the counter.

You will develop a relationship that any supermarket would **** themselves if they realised how well folk can get on.

The thread title is:



Don't stray this far off topic if you have any evidence for your allegations take them to the lounge and discuss them there if you must.

This is about Khan and not about a bunch of dodgy kebab shop owners and what they have or have not done.

On khan I have to say within the boxing community there was open discussin about the flaws in his game, his poor fottwork during the Kotelnik fight, but he has definitely improved fight by fight. It is unmissable.

The only criticism I hacve come across that I KNOW is nopt racist is from people who don't like the way his family operate and the fact that he is from a middle class background. There is a bit of angst about that and also the fact that he used to train in manchester and moved to the states. That kind of annoys some fight fans in Salford.

Don't dictate to me what i can and can't post in this thread.My post is in response about the EDL and the misconception that is portrade in the media that EDL is inherently racist. The majority of people who live in Blackpool have immense respect for the EDL and what they are trying to achieve.

What gets me, Mayweather is hated in America by the fast majority of the population, is this down to colour? Hell no. He is arrogant,flashy and the money persona is not endearing to the hard working American population

Mayweather would get more love in the UK than in America if he ever boxed here. Does that mean Americans are racists? Of course not.

Why do people on here think that if someone doesn't like Khan is mostly to due to race?
Khan on his tv show came across as a complete tit. The guy is arrogant, his personality doesn't show well and he has rightfully been criticised in the past for being a over hyped diva.

What tv show? I would call him confident in his ability and he has backed it up so far, hardly arrogance. Over hyped divas don't make #1 at 140lbs or are close to entering the p4p top 10.

You really need to stop reading THE SUN it is full of absolute rubbish.

EDL are a bunch of facist scum, if you actually have a brain you wouldn't support them. I doubt there are so many idiots living in blackpool that have support for EDL. There leader Tommy morrison has been exposed so many times its unreal, he is a total tw@t.



LMFAO, TOTAL idiots no idea how any1 can support these.

Goo0gle may be your friend.The tv show a few years ago where he had a bunch of youths who had been in some trouble and he was trying to instil discipline in there lives. Can't remember what's it called. Amir Khan didn't come across very well at all.

Try Tommy Robinson comrade Talz. Tommy Morrison, yeah the Duke would KO that Anjem Choudary **** and all those psycho invader parasite ragheads that birthed the EDL. Why not have a go at them, Talz? EDL have a right to exist to counter these unwashed and unwanted Taliban wannabes.
