because he is a filipino, asian not american british western.
pure and simple racial discrimination.

For every story told that divides us, I believe there are a thousand untold that unite us.
Throw stones in a glass house much?Manny may be the cash cow but here in the States is where the engine is and frankly many great come to flourish and break into the mainstream.Poor Manny is a hostage to his own succsess,I'm sure he can handle it. Racial divides exceed the sports world and people have died for decades over them...dont be so cheap and melee mouthed.
Show me where I have made a single "baseless accusation". I have frequently said that I don't think that Manny Pacquiao is any more or less suspect of using performance enhancing drugs than any other elite-level athlete. That he is behaving in a suspicious manner is, to me, undebatable. I have also expressed my surprise as to how effective these accusations have been.
So go ahead and show me where I judged Pacquaio without any evidence. I have a feeling this might take a while.
In a way I don't think it's baseless race card playing from them. Asians as in the orientals are seen as physically inferior as human beings in terms of athletics and manhood in the west. Where do you think the small, weak, little dick generalities comes from? Even this place has topics started on it by longterm respected members. So I can see why the Flips/Asians might get a little defensive when 1 of their own is the top fighter in the sport and everyone questions his accomplishments.
BTW, I'm just trying to look at it from their shoes.
Only a complete racist would consider Asian people inferior in any way. It's not a common belief at all where I live. We have a massive Asian population here and there is very little racism towards them in the general population (by that I mean no more than what is experienced by other ethnic groups). Do some people look at Asian's with derision? Certainly, but the number is few and it's certainly not endemic to the west like you describe it.

I'm just trying to look at it from their eyes as in why some would use the race card. I'm not saying it's right or wrong. Because the USA has a little bit more derison for them and their physical, athletic abilities, and manhood. Maybe a place like Canada and a few countries in western europe doesnt. But the USA is the leader of the Western world and it's representative and largest country. What it says goes and it represents the west.
ANd as an American I know this country has a derision for them, their countries and their people. You really don't think America's wars with them in China, N. Korea, Vietnam, (proxy wars in the cold war), and the Phillipines (early 20th century) hasn't shaped America's view of them? It has, it's represented in society, media (tv, newspapers, films) and a plethora of other mediums.

Thread's getting out of hand I think. Was a pretty good read until I came to these exchanges. I understand your way of thinking, but as a non American, I could say that your country has a derision not just on Asians but also on other non Caucasian races if I go by your way of thinking. It's early morning here and I'm just getting off work, so my apologies if my post seems muddled. Just saying that you're not doing your country any good by stating what you just said, at least for me it's not.
As an aside, America never had an open war with China. They were helping them fight off the Japanese back in WW2. Sorry for being way OT, but I wasn't expecting to see these kinds of posts in a boxing forum.

I gave you some neg rep for that and I gave you a good reason why. You are the only person claiming racial discrimination around here. You are also the only one using racial slurs upon other posters as well. There is only one racist that I see around here and that is....you.
This issue has nothing to do with race, so open your eyes a little and look around a little more closely.
PAc could be a white american or a blue smurf it wouldn't change the fact that based on dubious arguments, he refuses 40 millions against a tea spoon of blood. Nothing to do with racism, really. Thus said, I am more than willing to take his place, as I stated, you can take a blood test every day, dress me with a pink skirt and call me Suzanne. I won't win though but hell, 40 millions is a good reward for an old school beating, no?
