Kovalev's manager: "Sergey is not a racist."

[Helm]

a lot of countries say NEGRO to refer to BLACK PEOPLE and no one see it as a problem

why you want to make such a big deal out of it?

the world doesn't end beyond the united states

is a problem for anyone if an asian is called asian? i guess no....so where is the problem?

[Dindu_Nuffin]

This is ridiculous...

Who really gives a shyte? The guy didn't say or do anything racist - it's just you PC police trying to make it into that.

[tredh]

It's the intent. He was trying to denigrate pac for his appearance and stereotypes based on his nationality (filipino) and race (asian). Floyd is just too ignorant to know an actual Filipino dish, so he just grouped pacquaio with another group of asians (Japanese), which makes it worse imo.

That's like pac calling floyd a "black loser," and he will "cook him like fried chicken."

Seems racist.

Yes the intent was to demean Manny just as Kovalev's was to demean Stevenson.

Manny's nationality didn't play into it but him being Asian most surely did.

Just like Floyd associated Manny with sushi cause he Asian. Kovalev made the reference to Stevenson and the monkey cause he is black. Throughout history many racists have said black people came from monkeys and apes.

The thing is though you can't really compare Floyd saying "cook him like sushi" even though I thought he said "make him cook me some sushi" to Manny saying to Floyd "cook him like fried chicken" because to "MY" knowledge people throughout history haven't used or viewed any people let alone Asians eating sushi as a negative thing.

All races have used and associated black people with eating fried chicken as something negative.

Even though there is nothing wrong with any race of people eating fried chicken. Some people only view it as negative when it pertains to black people even though all races of people eat it.

Hence when Tiger Woods won the Masters Fuzzy Zeller said about the champions dinner "hope he doesn't serve fried chicken and collard greens" or something like that. Zeller only mentioned fried chicken because Tiger Woods is looks more black than anything else he is mixed with. Funny thing is Tiger Woods doesn't even consider himself just black.

Yes, I'm pretty sure his intent was to insult pacquiao. It is evidenced by his use of the word "chump" and referring to his skin as "yellow." Moreover, if taken in context with the rest of that ustream video; it is quite obvious and difficult to argue otherwise. Didn't he also say he would cook him with cats and dogs? For your information that is another stereotype that asians cook and consume cats and dogs.

Sushi is a stereotypical food for asian people, hence why I used it as an example. It is analogous to the stereotype of black people and fried chicken.

The preparation of the food is irrelevant.

I think it is definitely racist. Defending it is the same as those defending kovalev. Practice what you preach.

I understand your point yes, he was trying to insult him. I don't think he called him a dog and cat eater.

I am aware that certain places in the world, cats and dogs are consumed as meals. Floyd actually said cook him like sushi-which I found rather ****** as sushi isn't cooked.

If you think it is, ok. In Sergey's case, this thread was made regarding something he said a while ago. This was bumped because of the pic. The pic confirms this. It's not just the pic.

I understand your conclusion. I liken it to ali quotes about Frazier being a gorilla.

it really is crazy in america. they hear the word 'negro' and it's like the world ends for them. just calm down you people. the white man isn't after you. in fact more young black people die everyday from their OWN! and your black president doesn't care about any of you either.

Good post. Also that Fried Chicken and collard greens are foods that southerners of all races consume at a high rate.

you sure that was his intent? If you are wrong about intent?

in your example-fried chicken is actually a stereotypical food for black people so there is somewhat of a difference. you also have to cook fried chicken, you do not cook sushi last I checked.

There is a reason evol will not give a yes or no answer-because he knows it isn't racist.

Wtf??? I already said it was racist since last week when we first debated about this. I'm ignoring it now because I answered it already.

I don't care if u have to cook Sushi or not, that's not my point.

To call someone a yellow chump and to tell that yellow chump to go cook me sushi and egg rolls IS RACIST to me.

You seem like you watch a lot of Fox News with this post.

So we are not all people?

Just like more white people die at the hands of other white people but yet you conviently left that out for some odd reason.

Never knew there was president of black people. Learn something new everyday. I did know that he is the President of the USA though. Now I know he is the president of black people our black president.

Tell us who is the president of white, asian and latino people?

[Y0@NN]

Look at all these beta males arguing about who's the most racist smdh
Who cares, nobody loves everybody.

[Evol]

is this what Floyd said? "cook him like" is a little bit different than "go cook me some".

As usual you made up what was said and then are arguing it.

I never said Floyd said "cook him like" not sure where u are getting this from?
