I have utterly no idea what this poor fellow means by differentiating the "proper skin color" of Gene Fullmer from that of Carmen Basilio. But it makes my point rather well.
To assume that all "blacks" have the same "skin color," or all "whites" or all "Hispanics,"
etc., is racist. And you can dismiss this argument all you want by sneering "PC," but a sneer is not a refutation.
Individual fighters--like, say, Gene Fullmer and Carmen Basilio--are far more interesting than their "skin color." All this obsession over "color correct graphics" is creepy. It reminds me of the scientific racism of the nineteenth century, which tried to measure differences in skin color. Paul Pierre Broca actually came up with a 34-tone scale.
Maybe OOTP should get a copy of it!
