    Oh thanks for that. Had no idea.

    He's mexican/American to be exact.

    And yes, while people like that are on the borderline over at stormfront dot org they fit in with American mainstream 'white' culture. Especially when they act as such.

    So if a person fits in with mainstream 'white' culture, that makes them white?

    :lol: :lol: :lol: :happy

    I had written such a long post - but this is just better.

    Olympic Gold medal, crossover appeal with the ladies and casual fans, has had a very successful career against generally top flight opposition - What's not to like?

    I got to say he fun to watch, except against floyd, that fight sucked to watch, he got a great chin,,,,an honeslty HBO help build him, they new he was good, he played ball, he made them alot of money, they got him on espn sport center an other shows like that so the average sports fan will say who that, an they found out.. I think if Vitali came an did one fight a year back in 1999, HBO would of made him big, he just came into late, an Wlad chin scares the suites at HBO or he would be bigger.......Calaghe is also another guy that could done well if he went to HBO instead of showtime..........Answer to the question? HBO:hi:

    There is nothing that 'makes a person white'. It's not a scientific catagory. But DLH looks and acts in a way that white people can relate to as being like them. Is that so hard to understand?
