Care to post some links to these 'bigging up' sensationalised reports that are irritating you so much?
Talk to blokes in the pub etc Bilbo. :-/
Without exception every single non boxing fan mate I have laughed their asses off when Amir Khan got sparked. I was actually out clubbing the night it happened and was in a pub when he got sparked. Somebody asked a barman if he knew how the fight went and he said he got sparked in 30 seconds to which everyone within earshot (about 30 or so people) all cheered and laughed and said 'haha the paki cunt'.

I'm sure this happened in pubs around the country.

I can't imagine any casual sports fan in a pub seriously saying that Khan boxed superbly against Barrera and showed great improvement everyone will be saying he's a paki twat and they hate him.

Sorry if that offends people but that IS the reality if you go to any pub on a Friday or Satruday night and ask random blokes what they think of him.

I'd say 3 out 5 would say the exact word 'fucking paki twat'.

Ironicallly I don't really see this as racism in a sinister sense as much as I do just normal drunken laddish behaviour but I do find your idea of drunken blokes in a pub debating the Khan Barrera fight in a respectful manner to be quite nieve.
No, that really is racism, it doesn't have to involve lynchings to classify as it. Mate, normal drunken laddish behaviour must have some very worrying connotations in your bits of England
