Khan interview about the racism comments he made..

[Kel]

Just to be clear on my view of the situation, I don't neccessarily agree with Khans comments regarding him being a super star if he was white. I am only trying to point out that there are likely people who don't like Khan due to racism. I believe that percentage of people who are racist and are actually in a position to have some kind of influence are very small. But I'm sure there is nehativity out there stemming from Racism. Granted other people have other reasons for the negativity, and others still like to believe they have other reasons.

I think the only step anyone can really take to prove or disprove Khan's main point is to compare his popularity to a white boxer who is/was about eqivalent in career and ability. Unfortunately I don't have the boxing background knowledge for it but maybe someone else here does.

Why are you on a boxing forum if you ain't a fan of the sport?

I am still a relatively new fan, but a fan none the less. Anyway, I figured I could learn something following this forum.
