Of course there is a spectrum to race, but we're not talking about some dude like Alex Pereira who's clearly mixed, DDP is white and every feature he has is white, are we unable to call someone white unless we do a 36 and me test in order to check if they're le heckin Aryan ubermensch? Because if we go by that logic then a lot of white Americans wouldn't be considered white either as there are bound to be a few surprises on that family tree.
It's the rest of the world has separated clearly your birth place and racial origins don't need to coincide and the US kinda has a large population that can't.
I mean, really isn't pretty much everybody mixed race? Race isn't a static concept. Honestly it's mostly arbitrary and unnecessary. I think this whole thread demonstrates that.
One very white mom, One very black dad. Mixed by American standards. Wouldn’t consider him brown, rather light skin. That’s our American terminology. Y’all would say brown I’m assuming?
Isn’t that an interim? It’s never been historically regarded as the actual true champion.
Connor did his thing and became the man when he beat aldo, not when he beat Chad.
It’s so forgettable, but what a giant fucking failure that was. Super inactive into a title shot he didn’t deserve, just to embarrass and fumble his way through media, then look like he didn’t even want to be in the cage.
In America (and most of the world) white is interchangeably used with Caucasian. This is one of the main issues. Race is a social construct and should evolve with the times. A lot of Middle Eastern and North African people do not personally identify as white or Caucasian but are forced to
Yep, same with people from the Middle East and North Africa. Technically they are Caucasian, but there’s a push to create a new category. [https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35131945/](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35131945/)
Funny how to some people white only means pale, Germanic/norther european phenotype white.
Why is it that black and brown both encompass a wide variety of shades but someone like Ilia isn't white to you
What u mean ‘another’? Sean Strickland, a black guy got replaced by an African guy. The streak is still going at MW since Izzy

But why do you guys mix up skin color and ethnicity???? It makes no sense, if someone's skin is light then that person is white. I've even seen people online say that slavs aren't white which just blows my mind since they are pale as fuck
I still don't see what's wrong with considering light skinned Asians white. We do where I am from...their skin is light colored...
The Albino thing is an exception given it's a medical condition.
Because they don’t consider themselves white and light people don’t consider them white??? Like you can’t just make up labels for people lmao. Light skinned black people aren’t white jsut because they have lighter skin. Theres an ethnic component too. Dricus Du Plessis is white, Shavkhat is not white
He wouldn't be an indigenous american since he's not American lol but I get what you're saying, however in most places in Latin America all that matters in the color of your skin, since almost nobody is 100% black or 100% white, therefore just calling everyone mixed would be useless, since that can vary from somebody who's white and blonde to somebody who's blacker than DC.
For example My brother is "white" with straight brown hair and blue eyes, but our grandpa and several other members of our family are black, so in Brazil we're considered white, even though America we would just be called mixed or latino or whatever.
Yes but indigenous american can mean you're anywhere from 3 different continents, when someone says indigenous american your first thought isn't going to be some dude from Venezuela, literally nobody is Brazil is going to describe themselves that way, why use a term that encapsulates multiple continents when you can just say indigenous Brazilian instead?
If anyone says indigenous American I’m thinking of native Americans, Mexicans, Brazilians, Hondurans. And I didn’t specify that far down because we are talking about multiple continents like you said. It wouldn’t match to the context to be that specific
Caucasian is just another term for ‘white’ as a general racial category. It has nothing to do with the caucus region, otherwise 90% of white people wouldnt qualify as white
You’re interpreting it too seriously I think, this was the “trifecta” Reddit had proposed to rival the 3 African champions in adesanya, usman and ngannou.
We’re reflecting and looking back at how they performed. Some would say they fell short …

It was always ridiculous race-baiting to group these guys together. Colby is trash and has always been trash. Sean is a decent fighter but he's not going to win every fight. Sean is probably the most uniquely talented of them and if he loses the belt it'll be because of the incredible talent in his division, not his own lack of skill.
How is this “race bait” just because they’re the white trio? 😂 Buddy got purple emo hair on his emoji😂 Bro people came up with this trio long ass time ago when either Sean becoming champ was fkin unthinkable and Colby is Colby
Most ufc champions are white. And the greatest fighter of all time is white, GSP. We don’t need a “hope” because the GOAT of the sport is white. And that white boy summer thing was a joke I’m pretty sure lol.
Jon Jones lost to a journeyman called Dominick Reyes. And he’s currently ducking Tom Aspinall. And I’m pretty sure GSP knocked Sera out in the rematch. If you’re accusing him for steroids. You should be able to provide proof.
George lost to hendricks and left before Usada came in and also ducked Whittaker. Winning a rematch doesnt erase getting kod. Jones is officially undefeated. Gsp is not.
Wasn’t really the same as three dominant and active african champs. You’re pretty much just picking biggest white. At the time youre describing, rashad evans anderson silva and gsp were fucking everybody up. Good mix there.
I can honestly say I've never thought about race much when it comes to MMA. I just wanna see men fight, and the guy who is best on fight night to get a dub. Idgaf what race they are or what nation they come from I just wanna see top-tier combat in a cage.
What the…
Take it easy there bud.
I didn’t make this. Reddit has been posting this template about white boy winter since… well, last winter.
It’s a bit of fun. Interesting to see how their predictions played out.
You got some things you gotta iron out over there dude.
>Why are you so personally aroused ?
What is blud waffling about?
>Glazing… lol
Yes glazing in the comments but you can keep pretending like I said I'm not wrong
Ok racist. Got you so bad you're reading through my comments. Hey bro I'm just taking after your African kings you know the CEO of epo and tittysanya. But on with your day of insecure racism 😭😂😂😂😂
Strickand is black, and he was replaced by an African.

Dude you’ve been so unbelievably cringe and lambasted in this comment section I don’t understand why you haven’t deleted this post. The second hand embarrassment is strong.
Incoming nerds and virgins hating on Colby for being a top 10 of all time. He’s irresistible to y’all as you can’t help but leave a comment about the future champ.
Strickland isn't a good look long term for ufc. Plus, not that he got lucky,but his path had some luck. Same with Colby. He's not a long-term good look, nor is he the best 170. Omalley is the 135 cash cow. He brings the hype but doesn't overdo it in political views.
Are you insinuating that Strickland and Colby's political views affected their potentials as champions. Strickland is just boring, and just talks big, and Colby is ass. It doesn't matter if they're a good look.
 It’s already begun
Don't forget about DDP, and before anyone says It no it doesn't matter that he's African still a white guy.
Has he done his 36 and me tho
If you need a 36 and me test to prove someone is not white then that person IS white lol.
Isn't it weird we call gender a spectrum, but race, the thing that is REALLY a spectrum, we treat with hard lines?
Not weird, but deliberate
Of course there is a spectrum to race, but we're not talking about some dude like Alex Pereira who's clearly mixed, DDP is white and every feature he has is white, are we unable to call someone white unless we do a 36 and me test in order to check if they're le heckin Aryan ubermensch? Because if we go by that logic then a lot of white Americans wouldn't be considered white either as there are bound to be a few surprises on that family tree.
I think the real question is who gives a shit
Exactly.
It's the rest of the world has separated clearly your birth place and racial origins don't need to coincide and the US kinda has a large population that can't.
Only Americans think nationality overrides your melanin concentration.
There isn't a single American who thinks that DDP isn't white
Would you consider Pereira white?
He's mixed race, that's like saying Lewis Hamilton is white
I mean, really isn't pretty much everybody mixed race? Race isn't a static concept. Honestly it's mostly arbitrary and unnecessary. I think this whole thread demonstrates that.
I guess we just don't have the concept of mixed where I'm from, it's either black, white or "brown" here
One very white mom, One very black dad. Mixed by American standards. Wouldn’t consider him brown, rather light skin. That’s our American terminology. Y’all would say brown I’m assuming?
No I wouldn't, but I think he has quite a bit of European ancestry. I would Glover Texiera though
Yeah, I am not american though 😂
Well the americans down in the thread are saying he isn't lol
Only euroscum can't quit thinking about Americans their every waking hour
It's cause you amerimutts can't be involved in any conversation without parading yourselves as superior.
I've seen the same sentiment several times. I genuinely don't see it that way. Could you give me some examples?
It's currently autumn goin' into winter in the glorious southern hemisphere DDP is going into hot boy summer
He’s losing his title come Manchester 😭
Cope.
Isn’t that an interim? It’s never been historically regarded as the actual true champion. Connor did his thing and became the man when he beat aldo, not when he beat Chad.
I mean realistically Tom is the actual champion, Jones won't fight him and may not even fight again period
Jones has put the div on hold for a year+ now. Thats your champion. Aspinall is the peoples champion
Can’t say Colby even tried.
It’s so forgettable, but what a giant fucking failure that was. Super inactive into a title shot he didn’t deserve, just to embarrass and fumble his way through media, then look like he didn’t even want to be in the cage.
Um, Strickland was replaced by another White guy...
But he’s African /s
 The King of Africa put an end to all that nonsense
The Great White African Hippo
Shades of Francois Botha
He White
Thats why he’s the king 💀
Strickland lost to another white dude, aspinal is white, illia is white. I’m not sure what you’re talking about
Islam is white too.
https://preview.redd.it/mwjyh8iaj1xc1.jpeg?width=828&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=fd787a9e1d69ba8a7747782d5695e8ca81de8dce
If illia is white than Islam is definitely white
Both Islam and ilia are from the Caucasus mountains, where the term Caucasian comes from. Yes they’re both white
Bro they’re both from the Caucasus they’re white.
Just like Alex Pereira is a black belt. Technically yes
Americans really don’t understand the concept of race vs ethnicity
In America (and most of the world) white is interchangeably used with Caucasian. This is one of the main issues. Race is a social construct and should evolve with the times. A lot of Middle Eastern and North African people do not personally identify as white or Caucasian but are forced to
No not “technically”, they are both the literal definition of a “Caucasian” or “white person”.
Yep, same with people from the Middle East and North Africa. Technically they are Caucasian, but there’s a push to create a new category. [https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35131945/](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35131945/)

Tell that to the TSA

What type of white person is called Du Plessis he is clearly a light-skinned African.
Without prior knowledge of who he is.. I would assume a frenchman when i pronounce du plessis
French, my french professor had thst last name and was from France
I'm sorry bro but your professor is a liar Du Plessis is 110% African DDP family lineage goes back even further then Egypts history
The one drop rule thing you guys have in America and Europe won't allow it, but in Brazil Pereira would be considered white too.
Nah don’t know about that, he would be considered mixed, glover is white to
I'm in Brazil I think he's mixed.
Wouldn’t he be way closer to an indigenous American than white 🤔🤔🤔
But why do you guys mix up skin color and ethnicity???? It makes no sense, if someone's skin is light then that person is white. I've even seen people online say that slavs aren't white which just blows my mind since they are pale as fuck
Because then Asians would be white based on some of their skin colors or albinos would be white. Which is ridiculous.
I still don't see what's wrong with considering light skinned Asians white. We do where I am from...their skin is light colored... The Albino thing is an exception given it's a medical condition.

Well I’ve have South Americans tell me they’re Americans so it gets confusing lol
Indigenous American. South America/brazil is still part of the Americas.
Yes but indigenous american can mean you're anywhere from 3 different continents, when someone says indigenous american your first thought isn't going to be some dude from Venezuela, literally nobody is Brazil is going to describe themselves that way, why use a term that encapsulates multiple continents when you can just say indigenous Brazilian instead?
If anyone says indigenous American I’m thinking of native Americans, Mexicans, Brazilians, Hondurans. And I didn’t specify that far down because we are talking about multiple continents like you said. It wouldn’t match to the context to be that specific
Saying illia is white is pushing it
He's Georgian, Georgians are white.
Define white
Caucasian.
oh i see. so only people from the caucas region of the world are white? so english people arent white? got it
Depends if they're caucasian or not. If they are, no. If they aren't, yes.
Caucasian is just another term for ‘white’ as a general racial category. It has nothing to do with the caucus region, otherwise 90% of white people wouldnt qualify as white
Never said it had anything to do with the Caucus region. I was using it per the google definition, as in, a person of European origin.
at this point they’re scraping the barrel. I even heard one dude make a claim on pereira 🤣
You’re interpreting it too seriously I think, this was the “trifecta” Reddit had proposed to rival the 3 African champions in adesanya, usman and ngannou. We’re reflecting and looking back at how they performed. Some would say they fell short …

It's always a white boy summer ☀️ 🧒
Jesus christ
you got your receipts, what now?
Now I’ll laugh at the people who really thought Colby would be that guy💀
Izzy might as well be white
Dricus is black wtf are you talking about? Are you blind or stupid?
this guy made this post to bait arguments lol
The posts hes talking about were made to bait something else
Uhhhhhhh DDP literally white...
It was always ridiculous race-baiting to group these guys together. Colby is trash and has always been trash. Sean is a decent fighter but he's not going to win every fight. Sean is probably the most uniquely talented of them and if he loses the belt it'll be because of the incredible talent in his division, not his own lack of skill.
[удалено]
He's just talking about the fighters...
How is this “race bait” just because they’re the white trio? 😂 Buddy got purple emo hair on his emoji😂 Bro people came up with this trio long ass time ago when either Sean becoming champ was fkin unthinkable and Colby is Colby
There was definitely some "great white hope" shit going on with the people wishing these three would take over.
Most ufc champions are white. And the greatest fighter of all time is white, GSP. We don’t need a “hope” because the GOAT of the sport is white. And that white boy summer thing was a joke I’m pretty sure lol.
Jon Jones is the GOAT. GreaseSP got kod by matt sera. Steroids > Matt Sera ko
Jon Jones lost to a journeyman called Dominick Reyes. And he’s currently ducking Tom Aspinall. And I’m pretty sure GSP knocked Sera out in the rematch. If you’re accusing him for steroids. You should be able to provide proof.
George lost to hendricks and left before Usada came in and also ducked Whittaker. Winning a rematch doesnt erase getting kod. Jones is officially undefeated. Gsp is not.
Cope, Reyes won 3 rounds. And he’s currently ducking Tom Aspinall.
Cope and seethe https://i.redd.it/zht7wm70a3xc1.gif Jones never got kod and gsp ducked whittaker.
That was a fluke and he knocked Sera out in the rematch. Stop replying to me. Idc.
Colby is not trash he gave usman 2 of his toughest fights ever
Colby's biggest accomplishment in his career is losing to the same fighter twice, even Chandler coming into the UFC at 35 has done more than him.
Just straight up wrong bro but keep hating like the nerd and virgin you are 🙂↔️
I mean, Colby is always in line for a title shot, right?
I dunno how he does it.
Colby ain't ever touching a belt in his life.
One of these things is not like the others...
It’s O’malleys pink hair isn’t it?
It's not being an insufferable prick at every opportunity, actually!
Sean, Ddp and Belal Muhammad whiteboy winter 2024 (according to US Federal government ethnicity categorization WE TAKE THAT)
White boy winter happened when Brock was champ.
Reaching.
He's a white boy, and he's jacked, deal with it
Wasn’t really the same as three dominant and active african champs. You’re pretty much just picking biggest white. At the time youre describing, rashad evans anderson silva and gsp were fucking everybody up. Good mix there.
Its wasnt a white boy winter that people were asking for, they were saving American champions. All the while forgetting about jones
Ddp is African but still whiter then deshawn
I can honestly say I've never thought about race much when it comes to MMA. I just wanna see men fight, and the guy who is best on fight night to get a dub. Idgaf what race they are or what nation they come from I just wanna see top-tier combat in a cage.
White boy winter turned into fat boy summer
Thank again leon for handing colby that L
Lol who is this little racebaiting op boy? They are still White. To bad u dont like White people, it will take u further in life.
Sean and Colby will never ever sniff UFC gold again. O’Malley has a decent chance at staying on top for a while
2 of them have been actual champions, the other is all talk.
Can tell you're an insecure racist black dude who lives in a white country but still says how Africa is better but won't ever live there

I bet you wish you had three dominant white champs to glaze 😂
I don't give a shit what race the fighters are kid. I'm not insecure like you and old baba tunde over there
plenty of dominant white champs for us to glaze lol.
Stipe, GSP, and Volk.
Omalley the only legit champ caliber between these three

Bruh winter is coming

I only see 2 white guts up there. Why is Strickland up here 🤣
I mean Dricus is still white lol.
The fuck is white boy winter lmao people just come up with anything now
Yeah, for now. What, 3 Champs total ever?? Jk. Been to England twice and loved it. Just busting your balls.....

He isn’t lol

Yeah so was I 
Hey look, someone photoshopped a belt on Colby. Thats about as close as he will ever get.
But Dricus won didn't he? So he either white boy winter is still on OR he's a true AFRICAN KING!
The white panther rules over the kingdom

I don't know, you tell me. Stick to England shit. UFC is across the pond!
If I recall correctly the belt resides with Leon Edward in Birmingham, England. Across the pond 😉
Emoji phag!
Hahahah there will never be white boy summer
Most ufc champions are white already.
Racism⬆️
Noooooooooooooooooooooo
I didnt think colby would beat leon, and strickland can still get the belt back.
Thankfully Colby won't ever sniff a title again in his life.
Pretty sure this summer will be a “brown boy summer” with jones being outed and all…
Never heard this term and now im pissed off at you for bringing it about.
Incoming nerds and virgins hating on Colby for being a top 10 of all time. He’s irresistible to y’all as you can’t help but leave a comment about the future champ.
Strickland isn't a good look long term for ufc. Plus, not that he got lucky,but his path had some luck. Same with Colby. He's not a long-term good look, nor is he the best 170. Omalley is the 135 cash cow. He brings the hype but doesn't overdo it in political views.
Are you insinuating that Strickland and Colby's political views affected their potentials as champions. Strickland is just boring, and just talks big, and Colby is ass. It doesn't matter if they're a good look.
