    Racism and nationalism

    So... Since joining this board, I have experienced being called British because I'm a Froch fan. Well... I'm not British.

    I see Americans and Europeans dissing each other everywhere. And I see lot of "Froch is just popular because he's white!", "You just hate Mayweather because he's black!", etc... Seriously, it's very primitive.

    I'm white, I was engaged to a black girl until some problems arised a few days ago, most of my friends are from the Middle East or Eastern Europe, some black friends here and there, my aunt and cousin is Vietnamese, etc... My daily life is very multiracial, so to say. This place absolutely disgusts me.

    Many have died fighting racism and I love being surrounded by different people, but it's as if this place is just full of horrible people and nationalists...

    Appreciate boxers for their skills and epic battles, not their nationalities or races, and don't be too quick about calling others racist or nationalist, you never know what kind of person is behind the screen.

    I considered leaving the place today, but then again, I would come back anyway when a big fight happened, so might as well stay. But please think about this, wouldn't this place be better if people pulled themselves together?

          It's not that I feel hurt by the racism and nationalism here, but I care because racism should be fought everywhere. It's like an evil virus.

            I have been called an Island rat, puto and an eyebrow plucker even though I have never plucked a hair on my face, just because I am a Cotto fan I never give a phucc about what a peasant has to say. It's part of being ****y bastard.

            Boriiiiiiiicuaaaaa!

                    I survived the Pacquiao era, at least when it was at it's peak, nothing phases me anymore.
