Robert Garcia insults the Cuban Community (Video)

[HanzGruber]

negro! im talking about robert gracia LOL!! im asking u how come when its robert making these statement, then he's just joking around but when its someone else making a similar statement they get lable as a racist?

Well there's a lot of Californians and texans on this board that love Robert but in realit he's a scumbag. I never said the roach thing was racist but it was messed up. Same with this, another dumb thing to say. Even worse than Sally is laughing it up with him lol

[Weebler I]

He was disagreeing with immigration policy as much as a dude who says african americans are lucky we allow them here and not get sent back to africa. Which is 0% because simply that is not what he said they weren't discussing immigration prior to his comments neither was he referring only to boxers either, but he was referring to all Cubans living in the US who most like him are born in the US which makes him sound even ******er like instead of a white redneck saying "why dontchu mexicans go back to mexico" we get the butthurt mexican version of that which is hilariously ironic .

He was talking about Cubans, not Cuban-Americans.

As an American who's parents immigrate here he doesn't have a point lol. Just turn the scenario around. If someone said to Robert "you're lucky we allowed your parents in this country" would he be complaining just like with the roach thing

What he said would be the equivalent of Amir Khan opposing Bulgarians coming to the UK. As a Briton he's perfectly entitled to hold that opinion without being considered a racist irrespective of whether his parents were immigrants.

That is what you choose to believe which is nothing near to what he said he made no distinction he was talking about all Cubans in Florida not immigrants he never made any distinction.In reality it is equivalent to amir khan saying indians in the UK are lucky they get to stay and not sent back to india as if he had any more right than another person who is a citizen but of indian decent which he does not. It is as simple as listening to him the rest you are inferring and coming up with a different meaning than what he actually said which was 0% referring to immigration.

He did actually: "a lot of those Cubans that came to the United States"

Key word: "came" i.e. not born "here", or already "here"

Moreover, he was making a prior direct reference to Gamboa who is an immigrant to the US.

Everybody who isn't native american "came" to the united states he was not talking about immigration why the hell would someone talk about immigration when he is being asked a boxing question why would you go all the way there, he got butthurt and it got away from him simple as that. "Gamboa are you scared of mikey?" If his answer would have been Mexicans in california are lucky we dont deport them back to mexico you would have the pancho villa crying brigade here. One thing has 0 to do with the other.

I agree with that much. He didn't need to go there but it's not racist to say that the Cubans that come to US (his actual words) are lucky to stay. He's entitled to hold that opinion as an American.

Out of interest, are you Cuban Dann?

[Godsfly]

the comments were ignorant........give it a break. & anyone trying to spin it are complete & utter tards............

[Cuauhtémoc1520]

They were ****** comments but I don't think for one second Robert Garcia is a racist or hates Cubans. He has all nationalities in his gym and helps and trains them all.

[I Hate Thugs!]

He was born in California according to his boxrec. My point was that as an American he's entitled to disagree with current immigration policy without being called racist (even though it's clear he's joking around on the video).

Yes, this is true because I myself am a Mexican-American against ALL illegal immigration, including Mexicans. My issue with his statement is that I can almost guarantee that he supports illegal immigration from the south as many of the posters here, and just like the posters here he would be crying racism had this been said about Mexican boxers never mind Mexicans in general. My point has already been proven with the whole "***in Mexican" Roach thing.

The reality is that many illegal Mexicans are the ones that should bfeel lucky that they aren't deported and treated like the Mexicans treat their illegal aliens from Central/South America, in fact quite the contrary, illegal Mexicans get everything handed to them on a silver platter and then some.

I agree, but I wont excuse it or try to disguise it he said what he said because he was butthurt as Ive said a bunch of times, and people say all kinds of **** when they are butthurt even things they dont really mean or sometimes brings out the truth. The only question that really matters here is why the butthurt is so grave that he went on that little rant im sure this is not the first time he has fielded question from fans why the over reaction.

I agree with that much. He didn't need to go there but it's not racist to say that the Cubans that come to US (his actual words) are lucky to stay. He's entitled to hold that opinion as an American.

Yes and most of my family was born here in the states, and Im pretty sure both the ones born here and the ones who came later on would find this offensive equally. We're talking boxing and all the sudden you say Cubans are lucky they get to stay here really? Even that being the case wtf does that have to do with anything? Does he have some sort of inferiority complex? I don't understand it all the twitter dude asked was if he was scared for mikey which is a valid question then he went on rant mode instead of just saying no.
