Did Vitali Klitschko make a racist statement about Haye?

You asked "why do people KEEP calling biracial people black?" I answered your question. I didn't say it was right or justified.
There is still that label attached to mixed raced people, the media and general public refer to ***** as the first black president. I'm mixed raced (half Indonesian, half British) and people still refer to me as Asian when I'm probably more ingrained in British culture than Asian and spent the majority of my adult life here.
So how about you look at my answer and use your brain to figure out it was an answer to a question not a means of justification.Comment

Can't people discuss things rationally? Vitali made an incendiary comment which could be construed as racially motivated because similar comments have been made by racists for literally centuries. Because of that precedence, it's difficult to determine Vitali's intention behind the comment.Comment

I agree.. no racism involved here.. everyone has the right to express himself..Comment

I have to vote "NOT SURE" because I don't know what is in the man's mind.
I would guess he meant Haye is uncivilized, but whether he meant it racially also is hard to say.Comment

We've all had racist thoughts and probably made a racist remark at one time or another.
To me, an actual *racist* is someone obsessed by race and who actively dislikes and discriminates against people based on their race.Last edited by The Nephilim; 11-12-2012, 08:22 PM.Comment
