    that's because there are more white people in this country. proportionally poverty percentage is distorted among minorities. when hopkins calls pavlik a great white hope, he's referring to what the media makes him. not what every white person in america thinks of him. he's not a racist, just someone who acknowledges the bias that exists in american marketing. you know some people actually think wes welker is the best receiver on the patriots team?

    What a load of twaddle. Is Usain Bolt American? Is Roger Feder American? Lionel Messi? Cristiano Ronaldo? Rafa Nadal? Andy Murray? Iniesta?

    I could go on.

    I'm surprised nobody has done this since there seems to be a difference in opinion in regards to the definition of the word "racist" and it becomes an issue of semantics. Below is the definition of the word. Basically, there are two definitions. One of them having to do with viewing your race as superior to another ("I will never lose to a white boy") and the other definition having to do with discrimination (something that many minorities have been the victim of).

    racĀ·ism (rā'sĭz'əm)
    n.
    The belief that race accounts for differences in human character or ability and that a particular race is superior to others.

    Discrimination or prejudice based on race.

    LOL
    you cant be serious
    its not like hopkins is calling for the extermination of whites or anything else. he is talking trash in a sport where talking trash is to be expected. for christs sakes, the man made a few remarks that could be construed as racist. ****, most of us have done that.

    Racist or no racist, I believe Hopkins has mental health issues.
