to hook

You know that would probably be a real banger of a match though

I mean the meme is just funny but that's subjective. And I don't see what's to disagree to about the fact that a kid growing up in Cub, speaking Spanish and facing the struggles that one might face there isn't able to see themselves in Cody who has none of the same experiences, despite his ancestry.

They might not, but a mixed Cuban on tv is still representation. He’s still partly that race.

Not all black POC have the same lived experiences, but hopefully we can kill the not black enough stuff.

hook vs. Lio will happen

 

[Smart Marx]

I disagree on that, if he feels its wrong how tony handled it he should be allowed to speak up. Tony being a private business owner on the other hand has every right to handle lio how he wants.

Speak, sure. But demand your boss apologize.

Not demand*

And the meme would be funny if it wasn’t like the main reason he gets legit hate on the internet.

People legit think he said that.

Can I just state a stance of "Fuck racism, having a diverse roster and showcasing said roster is good?"

 

[Apoho Creed]

I've always been Pro Latino as people know and it warms my heart when Puerto Ricans like myself have success not just in Wrestling but in life. I went nuts when Kross won the NXT World Title look it up he's Puerto Rican . I know how it feels like to be judged by other races while being judged by your own Race because you were Born in the States vs the Island of PR. I didn't know Cody had Cuban inside of him I guess I know where that anger comes from now. I do want to see more Wrestlers in the Hispanic World not need to be something they are not and just themselves going forward.

Nah if my boss said some dumb shit to someone that was unwarranted, I'd tell them to apologize. Position in a company doesn't put anyone above or below anyone in terms of being appropriate towards one another

 

[CakeWalker]

as someone who is mixed ethnicity, mixed family religions, and mixed cultures - i never understand the, not quite the version/type/look/representation etc. we were looking for.

 

[Moon Bird]

Tony Khan is doing a good job. LGBTQ+ representation is on point. Diversity is on point. Tony needs to chill when it comes to twitter but AEW as a company is doing a good job.

 

[CakeWalker]

even if you think Cody - hasn't got the "lived experience" and perhaps he doesn't, he most likely has heard stories from thos in his family that have.

 

[Hidden Blaze]

Tbh if I was famous. I not even have Twitter LMAO

 

[CakeWalker]

if he wants to be a champion for those issues - dude should only be given props

 

[Moon Bird]

I'm not even famous and I don't have twitter.
