Comments Thread For: Fury: Since Title Win, I Get More Racial Abuse and Discrimination

[The plunger man]

He's absolutely correct. I've seen him called a ****** ***** on here plenty of times. It's racism, simple as. It doesn't matter if Fury is a "clown" or not. It's irrelevant.

Are you for real mongo ? ....we have fury openly admitting he slaps women, he calls people ugly , midgets and he threatens to slap any reporter or interviewer if they don't follow what he say's ...he also calls boxers drug cheats and steroid freaks when no names has been called at him...he condones taking drugs and calls every fighter bums...he deserve every bit of abuse he gets and only an over obsessed fan boy like you agrees with his actions....that's why he is disliked so much and that's why joshua is the number one draw in the UK ......you are a f@ckin idiot and I would slap you myself for being so ignorant to furys behaviour

Well, he ****s on everyone else, too. So he deserves whatever he gets in return.

Totally agreed here. I saw this after I wrote a similar post.

Haha, don't call anyone a "mongo" until you learn how to spell and use paragraphs.

Fury has never hit a woman, and other than a couple of driving convictions has never been in trouble with the law, unlike your hero Anthony Joshua who happens to be a convicted drug dealer.

So what if he calls people bums? Muhammed Ali did exactly the same.

Now you're resorting to physical threats, you honestly make me laugh whenever i read your ridiculous posts. I guess the internet must be srs business for you.

Anyway, do you like my avatar? You need to lose a bit of weight...

Being a gypsy is a life choice. Its not a race issue

People that have grown up with gypsy's living in the surrounding area will know the score. Ive said on here plenty of times what I think of them.

I like fury he hasn't changed one bit since winning the belts and that's the way it should be. reason he's getting grief is people listen to what he has to say now he's champ and he's dropped a few clangers haha

anyway im a fan

Being born into a family with hundreds of years of travelling history is a life choice? whatever man, You're a product of your community and family. Their beliefs and culture define them as a race of people. A separate entity from "normal" society if you will.

I've heard the same thing said about people living near ****** areas, Pakistan areas and white/black housing estates. where I live I heard it about polish people when they flooded in over 10 years ago. I have a large number of Polish friends now but was annoyed when they came at first. A lot of it is warranted, I don't like those travellers that turn up in my community either, however, the Fury's can't be defined by what you think of those people that turn up in caravans and leave ****ty nappy's behind once they move on. They had a house for starters and focused on boxing, paying their own way around the world fighting.

It's like me being prejudice towards a Polish person based on them being Polish. It's racist. I don't judge people based on their race, colour, nationality or sex. I take people how they come. I think he's a good guy. If you don't like him fair enough but don't bring his background into it. He's not a prick because all travellers are pricks. It's like tarring 300,000 people with the same brush. Same as judging every ******, Pakistani or Black/White guy by your personal experience with a few of them

He said about slapping Eddie Hearn after calling him a *****: "Because that's what real men do to B itch's, we slap em"

Warren said right after: "and that's not women *****es so don't go there"

You just believe an article headline on Boxingscene misquoting him out of context. You're the mong

What i've bolded are pretty common misconceptions

Race is defined by physical characteristics. Skin colour being the most prominent of which.

So firstly, beliefs and culture are not racial characteristics. Therefore discrimination against these is not a case of racism, but instead xenophobia. In the 'gypsy' case, this may be true, though the mostly accepted definition of xenophobia is a negative attitude towards foreigners, to which they are clearly aren't.

Secondly, being prejudiced against Polish people isn't racist, as racially they are mostly European white, its either nationalist and/or xenophobic. Being prejudiced against Pakistani's, based on looking at their skin colour, would be racist.

Back to the point though, its the traditional aspects of 'gypsy' culture that bother some people. Its not racism at all. Its their way of life that people find strange and threatening. They are British/Irish people who decide to sit outside majority accepted culture, so what do you expect?

[SouthPawHitman]

Preach Tyson preach. Our people have put up with this for too long. Us Irishmen face more discrimination and hate than any other group of people.

[turnedup]

Cry me a f'ing river. I just love how it's always what everyone else does. Dude has been trolling all the way up to the big stage and then acted like a 12 year old child while the whole world was watching. Now it's discrimination because people treat you the way you behave..feck off.
