I'd say race has nothing to do with it - however, people being blindly tied to tradition does have a lot to do with it (i.e., "fighting is good for hockey because when I was growing up and when Granddad was growing up we used to throw down all the time").
However, I think fighting should go from hockey. There are sports every bit as rough and competetive that manage to largely do without it (American football, rugby, etc) without diminishing the passion or edge.
