The Ring (1952 film)
It tells the story of a Mexican-American male who becomes a boxer, believing this kind of achievement will gain him respect among the English-speaking white majority.[2] The film focuses on a young Mexican-American named Tomas Cantanios, who boxed under the pseudonym Tommy Kansas, a resident of Los Angeles's poor Chicano neighborhood.He soon discovers that Anglos are only drawn to him for his sports reputation and that they still consider him an outsider because of his ancestry and skin color.In fact, the only two white men who treat him decently are his manager Pete and trainer Freddy.The Ring is one of the early sports-centered films in Hollywood in which discrimination against Chicanos is presented.
