    Are you a boxing racist?

    I was at home watching a random fight it was a black boxer against a white boxer. I automatically wanted to black guy to knock the white boxer out. When the black fighter lost I shook my head in disappointment. The next fight was 2 white fighters and as soon as I saw that I hit the fast forward on the tivo. How do you feel about the subject does this make me a racist?

    No, but it doesn't make you a boxing fan either.

      You must be biased towards fighters of your own race.

        So when you watch 2 fighters you have never seen or heard before who do you root for?

          Two fighters I've never saw?
          I root for the guy who's not of my race just so I don't seem racist.

            Most people root for the underdogs. Black people are the underdogs IN LIFE. You are not a racist.

                  I usually root for the big names, because I like to see people dominate (i.e Tyson). Had I been a big fan back when Buster got him (I was like 4, I didn't pay attention to boxing), and liked him as much as I did now, that loss would have been crushing.

                    I don't really root for people I don't know, I either watch the fight or I don't. But the decision is based on how entertaining the fight is, not the color of the fighters. I don't give a **** if the guy will be green polka dot, if it's interesting to watch, I will.
