Recently, Manny Pacquiao beat Oscar De La Hoya in a boxing match. I know about this not because I am a boxing fan but because that Manny Pacquiao is Filipino. Since I am a Filipina and Caucasian American, I was informed through text message.
I'm glad that he won and I am glad that the Filipino community is taking pride, however, I can't help but wonder..... do white people ever receive news when another white person wins a title in Sports?
There is no big 'race' celebration when the majority wins something, atleast I don't see it. Can you imagine if there was? If it was said that "white" Tom Brady was awarded MVP at the last superbowl.
How would the masses react?
Would non-football fans have to care?
Why should race be that much of an issue?
Hmmmmm...........
