Angel Locsin's Racial Slur Againts Floyd Mayweather Earns Attack from Netizens
I get it. Every single one of us Filipinos are not happy with how Floyd Mayweather use his usual tricks on Manny Pacquiao during their recent "The Battle of Greatness" boxing fight. The strategy that experts fear to be the next trend in the boxing ring - run, hug, punch, win! Moreso when the result was announced declaring the American boxer as the unanimous winner.
Just like some well known personalities, actress Angel Locsin airs her sentiments on social media. But unlike others, hers, as some observers say, is a bit harsh, calling her racist.
On twitter, Angel @143redangel wrote "Lugi naman kasi tayo eh.. hindi natin makita kung may black eye na si mayweather.. #MannyvsMayweather" which some branded as racist.
Lugi naman kasi tayo eh.. hindi natin makita kung may black eye na si mayweather.. #MannyvsMayweather — Angel Locsin (@143redangel) May 3, 2015 @143redangel I'd take that as a racial comment because you just meshed your joke with the guy's skin color. #huwagnaman — Kristoffer Atienza (@krisatienzaph) May 3, 2015 @143redangel All my respect for you just flew away~ Keep up the good acting, but try not to discriminate others. Just some food for thought. — Larisse å°è€ƒæ‹‰ (@XiaoKoala) May 3, 2015 @143redangel oh oh...even though you dont mean any harm, people will find this racist comment against mayweather skin color... #NakuLagot — akosicondrad (@condradpableo) May 3, 2015 @143redangel and you obviously referenced Mayweather's skin color in ridicule. It's all about context. Huwag mo kaming gawing tanga. — Lars (@TheTrilipush) May 3, 2015 @143redangel this type of comment is why Filipinos hate their skin color. We make it okay to make fun of dark skin. — Chikinini (@Chikininn) May 4, 2015 In response, Angel posted a logical question in reference to other skin color to prove she mean no harm but only expressing her thought of the fight. "Kung fair ang skin at sinabihan ko ng "lugi tayo at hindi makita ang an-an nya sa sobrang puti", racist comment rin? Baka kayo ang may issue"

"Sorry sa harsh tweets✌️mahirap, pero I'll try to move on na!�� proud of you Manny! Congratulations to Mayweather! He's a good strategist��"
