Comments Thread For: Andy Ruiz: I Made History For Mexico, Showed The Mexican Style

[JimRaynor]

Yes you did Ruiz, yes you did, nothing but respect for you.

Where was born? Where was he raised? Where does he live? Exactly.

But for arguments sake, Mexico can claim him......it's just that he should go live there if he's Mexican. Deal?

It doesn´t matter were was he born, he represents his heritage. Just like the person you are arguing with, born in the US but likes his Mexican roots, just like Bruce Lee, born in San Francisco and always was seen as Chinese. In the US, a guy is called Hispanic even if he was born in the US, does that make him from Spain like the word Hispanic implies? No. If you are not Hispanic STFU and don´t argue about things you dpn´t know.

Oh, and he lives in Mexico dummazz, in Imperial, California which has always belonged to Mexico and borders the city of his parents, Mexicali ( short for Mexico and California )which is basically the same city and everyone is Mexican.

So what Italians always rep Italy when the World Cup is around. You go to jersey and see all of those damn Italians flags when they play even though half of those Italian Americans are 3rd , 4th generation American and speak not one lick of Italian.

Irish do it too, polish do it too, everybody does it. The only people who can get away with it are ricans since America owns Puerto Rico.

A lot of ********** and 2nd generation immigrants rather rep their ancestral home over America if given a chance. America is only patriotic when we are fighting a common enemy.

You are right but even Puerto Ricans consider themselves Rican and the anglowhite majority sees them as that. People get confused with being American and being proud of your heritage. Oh, and Mexicans have a long border with the US, the Southwest was part of Mexico too ( people were ther when it became part of the US )...

He has Irish genes that's for sure

No he doesn´t, ignorant. In that case any Anglo-American with dark hair has hispanic roots?? Many Mexican families have someone blond, someone darker. You Blacks are so ignorant about race. Matter of fact Mexicans and Hispanics in general use 2 last names....Canelo´s last names are Álvarez Barragán, no Irish. My cousin looks even whiter than Canelo and is 100 % Mexican like me, you see how he looks by watching an episode of the 90s series Pacific Blue, the actor that plays Victor del Toro. Educate yourself and don´t envy Latinos, be proud of your blackness.

A lot of people are having this ongoing debate of whether Ruiz is Mexican or American. To be politically correct, he is Mexican-American since he was born in the U.S. but his parents in Mexico.

Chicano then.

Cong**** to Ruiz! Vato was out there throwing haymakers like it was a fight in the parking lot of Dodgers stadium.

People too focused on the fact that he's mexican, but the reality is that his mexican blood or heritage or whatever bs you wanna say about race, that didn't win him the fight, he won it himself, he was the better fighter, the hungrier one and he had the desire, that has nothing to do with race and i just wish more outlets would give him props for that, but everyone's repeating the mexican thing even though he doesnt have the mexican nationality.

[BillyBoxing]

Mexican is not a race, if you are not Mexican or Hispanic you won´t understand. It doesn´t matter if he has trained in Mexico or not, he represe nts his people and the Americans too. And his family is from a border city were everyone from both sides of the border have roots, and most are MEXICAN.

Why Mexicans are his people then if he's American?

That's what I meant, USA is country where people are split by ethnic background.

Hell on earth tbh
