It's not Race its Culture
Boxing mirrors real life example #1:
In the world of boxing, white people are less privileged than minorities. In the world of American boxing, Asians are less privileged than blacks and Mexicans. This is a culture issue, not a race issue. If a specific race really was privileged, that privilege would carry over everywhere. Since we don't see that happening, such as in areas of boxing, we can conclude that a race is not privileged, but really privilege is determined by culture, which is determined by, for the most part, reality.
The sport of boxing came around, which is really a meritocracy, and thus, eventually, blacks and latinos started emerging as the dominant boxers, which in turn, makes people living in the culture of boxing value black and latinos. Same thing with pretty much all sports.
The culture of education favors asians.
The culture of America favors white people.
The culture of Japan favors Japanese people.
If you want to break into a culture where you're NOT FAVORED, its best to understand that it will be difficult. You'll have to work twice as hard as the favored races, but, if you keep at it, you'll eventually earn your respect, but even that isn't guaranteed.
