Do you really not see the difference, mate, between you liking the Kiltchkos--who are from halfway around the world--because they're white, versus a Mexican or Mexican-American liking a fighter FROM MEXICO? One is racial, the other is national. Will you root for the world cup team who has the highest percentage of white people rather than the U.S. team, which has more black and hispanic players on it, because you can "identify better" with a bunch of Swedes than with blokes from your own backyard? This is nonsense.
