This bothered me for some reason. If they were saying, "Joe Whiteguy tries to do what no white man has done before, beat mosley! With the support of millions of white people behind him..."

If that aired there's no way it wouldn't be racist. How is this different?

Well, nationalist. Technically it is, but I think they're appealing to Mexican national pride. I think many Mexican boxing fans are already thinking of the match the way this commercial put it. Whether that's okay or not is up to you, but I don't think any Mexican people I've ever met would be offended.

This one time I was hiking through the woods and a giant tree had fallen down in my path and I picked the whole thing up over my head and threw it a quarter-mile over the other trees and then 50 people showed up to cheer for me and they lifted me onto their shoulders and the women started lining up to offer me carnal pleasures while the men built a statue of me from common woodland items
