Is Sergio the next Great White hope even if hes latino??

Did you post a pic (I'm guessing from Leon's comment).

Link ?

 

Mestizo = indian/European mix due to colonial era which is what most central and south americans are

Argentina/Uraguay = European immigrants

you get?

Ah your comment about him coming from poverty in south america and how it didn't fit in with the white privlege made me think you were saying that to be considred white you couldnt come from poverty because it wasn't a part of white culture.

 

Of course Martinez is white

 

If French and Italian count as Latino then they are also part Eskimo

 

I call Sexy Sergio the Great Female Hope. There's always plenty of bitches who just watch sports they know nothing about just because they LIKE the athletes.

Sexy Sergio is a handsome man dancing around the ring topless and doing the most manly sport. What kind of woman could turn that down?

 

Its a loose term to those countries who used the language, mostly catholic countries in southern Europe

 

Good post !


Especially the no "no homo" nonsense !

 

Not meaning to be a dick and no offence intended here but I think you're confused as to what the term 'latino' means.

 

You don't need a no homo when discussing someone as sexy as Sergio. It's not gay to acknowledge how hot he is. It would be gay not to, like trying overly hard not to be gay is suspicious.

Any man who doesn't think Sergio Martinez is sexy is a massive ******.

 

Read my post again. I was clearly saying Latinos can be white. Which is why I said I do not care if he was as white as Casper the Ghost... Latino is Latino.

I am Latino, and I look white. That does not make me any less Latino.

People need to realize Latino can be a lot of different things in regard to heritage. If you have more Spanish ancestors than you do Indian, odds are you'll naturally be more European looking.

 

most people don't care one way or another

 

Yep. He got no attention until he started being a dickhead.

In fact, I remember distinctly in his first championship fight against Genaro, Larry Merchant was commenting about how and I quote: "Mayweather's style is effective, but I do not think he will become popular with that fighting style." Something to that affect.

They were already selling Mayweather short back at Super Featherweight and said he would never be a big name because of his style of fighting.

 

Maybe Im confused but thats not really my point, that was a point that spawned out of my original point. What Im saying is Sergio looks very white and he may be hispanic but we all know that everyone gets excited when someone "like" him starts making noise. And I mean no offense, Gerry Cooney for example made everyone very interested in boxing for whatever reasons (even Blacks).

 

That was mainly my point.


Every time I see a 'no homo' after a post, I think "Possible homo."

 

Martinez speaks Latin but he is mixed race, half Nigerian/ half Irish.
