Recent study on bias in boxing

[keystone30pack]

copy and pasted from other post incase anyone is interested:

i actually recently completed a research study on whether the
race/ethnicity of an athlete affects how their performance is described by broadcasters

most of the previous research had shown blacks were more likley to be characterized as physically surperior for successful performance and blamed for their lack of mental acuity for unsuccesful performance- this was observed mainly in basketball and football

whites- were the characterized in opposite fashion to blacks

not much had been done in the way of hispanics in athletics
only research citiing socially constructed stereotypes of hispanics such as unintelligent and exhibiting "machismo traits"

i investigated professional boxing

undertook a content analysis of 6 hispanic v black fights and 3 his v his fights (the same 6 boxers from the hisp v black fights) all from the hbo network

word-for word descriptors were coded into a taxonomy which had 3 categories- physical dimension, mental dimension, machismo dimension for both crediting sucess and faulting a lack of for unsuccesful performance( for example the mental dimension consisted of: composure/concentration, commitment/hard work, experience, and adaptibility/strategy)

this was a qualitative analysis so no statistical measurements were done save percentages to find common themes- the sample size and method is not conducive to providing generalizations

these common themes and actual word-for word descriptors the announcers used were discussed in the results section to add the richness that defines qualitative studies

but i can tell you the most common theme i did observe was announcers- both black and white, associating succesful performance of hispanic boxers wiht the machismo dimension as opposed to the mental dimension

okay long post if any one wants to read it i could send it ot you somehow

Did you actually do any research? I dont think you did, every boxer has to have all three qualities or they would be murdered. When I think of macho, I think of big, in general that would be black / white boxers.

Sounds Interesting! I'll read it.

Hes so clearly pulling **** out of his ass.

How would you come to Physical, Mental, and Macho? Machoism isnt related to related to the other two. Machoism is defined as proving your manhood through confrontation. You cannot physically be a boxer without machiosim and there are not different levels of this, you have it.

A study about Physical / mental only would be a better investigation.

Since your intereted in race this is everything you need to know about the differences between races. It answers everything

Whats with the interest in races? I can tell you everything you need to know.
-Blacks are superior at sports where running is needed because blacks have smallerer hips than whites/asians/hispanics. This is because whites/asians/hispanic women give birth to children with larger cranial bones. Blacks dominate running sports, and hurdles. African ancestors ate food rich in carbohydrates which gives them more explosive energy.
-Whites are superior at sports where strength is needed because whites are stronger when it comes to upper body stregth. Thats why whites dominate sports like the javelin throw, hammer throw, weight lifting. The reason is white ancestors ate food rich in protein. Also the reason why whites tend to be taller.
-Asians are superior at sports when it comes to flexibility, sports like ice skating and gymnastics.
-Black children are born a week ealier than white children and even earlier than aisan children. -Blacks also develop faster, they go through puberty quicker.
-Blacks also tend to produce 3% more testosterone than whites until the age of 35 where they produce the same amount. Blacks produce up to 17% more testosterone than orientals.
-There is a genetic reasoning to why there is a difference of IQ by race. Asians are superior when it comes to intellegence.

Average Asian IQ = 106
Average White IQ = 103
Average Hispanic IQ = 93
Average Black IQ = 88
I would assume some, not all, is due to cultural difference.

The penis steriotype, its unknown as different studies say different results. But the order is generally the same: Heres the two biggest results.
Blacks - 6.49
Arab - 6.40
White - 6.22
Hispanic - 6.15
Native American - 5.66
Asian - 5.33

The point is every race has mastered their own native environment which has changed them in their own unique way.

Things I learned from this:
"In ancient Greek and Roman art, it is common to see the male genitalia to be smaller than one would expect for the size of the man. [3] Renaissance art also followed this aesthetic; note Michelangelo's David. This was due to the belief that the genitalia should not distract from the male form in sculpture."

Its also worth knowing that Caucasians have direct african blood in them, not just through evolution, but through direct mating.

Most Hispanics have direct Caucaisan blood in places like Mexico, Puerto Rico, Brazil. Some have African in places like Cuba, Puerto Rico, Brazil. Only pure Hispanics tend to look more Mongoloid in places like Peru.

The average African American is 20 - 25% Caucasian.

...Wow, those are interesting stats.

yes, i did all the research

hopefully, it will be published in a sociology of sport journal

yes boxing entails that one must have all three dimensions for success yet commentators (in this sample) more commonly associated the success of hispanics with machsimo dimensions and the failures with a lack of mental acuity

you must have missed the point

hous:
couple of probs no i'm not pulling **** out of my ass

this work is towards my disertation as i am working on my phd

second- your biological "data" is not from scholarly sources

for example: wikipedia is not a reputable source- would you want your doc giving you info on stuff he read on the web hous

third- those are mainly bio diff's in racial/ethnicity
this study sought to further the reserach in sterotypical communications

these communications whether true or not have real world implications to the viewers who recieve these confined images

fourth- most of this crap has been disproven or written in books by those who do not agree with the vast majority of scholars

fifth- hispanic is not a race - its an ethnicity

this study was on stereotypical descriptions used by the broadcasters hous

the macho component results from the socially held stereotype of hispanics

please get your data straight before you question my work

none of your sources would be accepted by any scholar form any university hous

[keystone30pack]

but thanks for attempting to undermine my research!!

especially since i included boxing- which has nto been done much at all in sociological research

there are weakness to my research as in any- clearly they are pointed out in my discussion section

some must be reworked before publication such as:

intercoder reliability: tinme and funding constraints did not allow me to have other coders sampl my sample and code the data to establish consistency among the results

this was a qualitative analysis and not meant to provide generalizations just richness in data and as a theoretical groundwork for further studies

[Hous]

It doesnt matter if its not from a University page, it gets their data from research as well as from sceintific magazine / newspapers. Before you try to look like a smartass look at the references sited on the pages.

Instead, they argue that that what matters is how hard the gap is to change. They argue that the history of attempts to reduce the gap through environmental intervention have produced no definitive, lasting results. As such, even if the gap were entirely environmental, we would be no closer to changing it. They also argue that knowing whether the gap is genetic or environmental should not affect how individuals treat one another. First, because individuals should be treated as individuals rather than as groups. Second, because the reality of the gap is independent of the cause of the gap (that is, it would make no difference to learn that the gap were "only" caused by the environment.

This is a subject which can be easily understood by any one who casts his eye on the more celebrated states of Hellas, and generally on the distribution of races in the habitable world. Those who live in a cold climate and in Europe are full of spirit, but wanting in intelligence and skill; and therefore they retain comparative freedom, but have no political organization, and are incapable of ruling over others. Whereas the natives of Asia are intelligent and inventive, but they are wanting in spirit, and therefore they are always in a state of subjection and slavery. But the Hellenic race, which is situated between them, is likewise intermediate in character, being high-spirited and also intelligent. Hence it continues free, and is the best-governed of any nation, and, if it could be formed into one state, would be able to rule the world. ” (Aristotle, Politics, ch. 7).

"Our results show that removing consideration of race would have a minimal effect on white applicants to elite universities. The number of accepted white students would increase by 2.4%." Asian percent of accepted students, in contrast, would increase by 33% (from 23.7% to 31.5%).
