You look at where hopkins has come from and what he's been through and the way he acts and carries himself is just plain normal. He had his little racial slip up and since there were a ton of camera's around we all heard about it, but what about the stuff people say everyday hell maybe even some of us that would cause an uproar if put all over the media but we are quick to jump on them. Hopkins could have done a lot of other things in his life, he was going down that road but instead he got into boxing to help keep him from getting into your car or house maybe one day. I respect the guy for at least attempting to do some good instead of what most of the young kids from his hometown wind up doing, and he could be white, asian, and alien and i would think the same thing.
