Comments Thread For: Indignation Over McGregor's 'Mexican' Remark is Mistaken

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

By Lyle Fitzsimmons - It was a promotion crammed to capacity with offensive moments. And from the instant publicity-tour microphones went live in Los Angeles to the end of the final fight-week presser in Las Vegas, neither Floyd Mayweather Jr. nor Conor McGregor showed much regard for the rules of decency and professional conduct as they sold their product. Mayweather's steady stream of F-bombs sent both censors and frazzled parents scrambling for mute-button cover, while the Irishman's...

I guess everything a white man says, even if meant to be praise is racist now in America. I remember way back when n@gger was the only offensive word. Now calling someone a nationality is offensive. This is just getting to a whole new level of ridiculous. I can't stand the media anymore. Pitiful.

That's What happens when you have so many casuals buying a fight.

Isn't it racist of these people to even interpret "Mexican" as an insult? As If fighting like a mexican has got to be something negative.

I thought it was a compliment first. It could go two ways: One: You fought like a Mexican warrior (skilled, brave, never say die, even get killed in the ring, etc.). Two: You fought like a Mexican (******, with no skills, face first, full of himself, a moron). I guess Canelo isn't Mexican.

I thought the first was a compliment first, then asked myself, as opposed to what? The rest of the bitches and pussies of all colors? I don't know man, I never bought this concept of Mexicans being the epitome of warriorism.

Canelo or Margarito?

I think the leftist white people get more offended by a perceived stereotype than the group being stereotyped. This is why I can't stand the left just as much as I can't stand the right.
