It really doesn't matter if it's racist or not because Conor never said it, the Mexican guy impersonating him who snuck in by wearing the stupidest coat he could find did.

KidDynamite posted:hint: he's been racist before this. Saying he was going to ride in to Aldo's favella and kill anyone not fit to work comes to mind, but keep stanning for dude. You seem to be late. I've been saying he's doing the same poo poo as always. Also I laughed my rear end off at that comment when he said it. maybe you should be less sensitive when listening to two people speak and just watch them beat each other nearly to death. ...and the pitch! posted:This word that is devoid of ethnic meaning but you wouldn't say it to Mayweather's face. So, if Connor had called him "kid" would you be ok with that? Let's not hurt anyone's feelings.

SnoochtotheNooch posted:Nothing he said was particularly offensive imo. He's saying the same poo poo as always only now everyone is viewing it with a racial lense. He's always called people out by their style and how they act. Aldo's a Brazilian bitch, Diaz is a wannabe cholo gangster, Alverez is a monkey, etc. etc. As far as I can tell the only racism that's really taken place is that people suddenly care about what he's saying bc Floyd is a black dude.

attackmole posted:Floyd has the magic ability to get people to watch his fights despite them mostly being boring technical slogs. It's like some form of Money Mayweather Hypnosis where he convinces millions of people to buy his fights, and then after every one there's a grumbling outcry from casuals about how boring it was and everyone acts all surprised about it and goes "this is why no one cares about boxing" etc etc. And then they all line up again to do it next year when he does it again. floyd fights are actually fun to watch, he's incredibly good at making people throw wild rear end punches that go nowhere imho i like watching people get clowned like that

I feel like Floyd is being a little bit racist by being an illiterate woman beater who spends all his money on flashy pointless objects while being actually poor. That's not who black people in America are and he's portraying them in a negitive way that's consistent with stereotypes.

Boy is just a general disrespectful term for an adult and unless you are deliberately using it in a way that hearkens back to Montgomery, Alabama in the 60s it's probably fine. That said, "dance for me boy" hearkens back to Montgomery, Alabama in the 60s. Rubellavator fucked around with this message at 20:38 on Jul 14, 2017 |

Conor's from Ireland so he's allowed to say racially insensitive USA words like "Boy" or "Ebonics" but isn't allowed to say euro things that we don't care about like "Gollywog" or "Orangeman"
