Do YOU see nationality/race in boxing?

[Lomadeaux]

I see nationality. I look for where a fighter is from. But not race.

[Vodkaholic]

Of course not. I close my eyes when i see fights and close my ears during the national anthem.

I’m guilty but um not blind.

No, I don’t choose my favorite fighters by race. But, I don’t see anything wrong with fans who engage in a little ethnic pride, it is perfectly normal. British, Mexican, PI, Polish, Puerto Rican, or whatever, should be able to cheer on their countrymen without being labeled racists or bigots. So long as you don’t hate a fighter because of their race or ethnicity.

Bingo! As long as you don’t hate fighters because of their race/ethnicity I see no problem showing pride in your Cultural heritage and rooting for them.

i always root for blacks against mexicans. black vs white is 50/50 depending on which fighter i think has better morals.
always root for anyone vs mexicans basically, usually because they are nationalistic and racist af and get away with it.

And this is racist prick.

I do not but many others do. It's a natural reaction. Just look at Danny Garcia failing at Spanish so he could get in the Puerto Rican audience.

I didn’t pay much attention to it at all until I started reading these boards. The ignorant racists on here make sure I can’t simply enjoy the sport without involving race in everything.
