A video showing African children chanting racist slogans in Chinese sparked a wave of anger on social media when it was posted in mid-February. The FRANCE 24 Observers team investigated this video as well as the wider Chinese market for videos of African children.
On 16 February, the Ghanaian YouTuber Wode Maya posted a video that one of his followers had sent him. The first few seconds of the video show a group of 18 children wearing red outfits decorated with what appear to be white dragons. In the middle of the group, there is a blackboard with a phrase written in Chinese that children start chanting, repeating after the person who is filming the video: “I’m a black monster. I have a very low IQ!” Then, they all start dancing.
Wode Maya, whose real name is Berthold Ackon, spent several years in China studying aeronautical engineering. He first saw the racist video on 10 February and decided to speak out about it on his YouTube channel. In his own video, he says that African governments should take action to stop this kind of exploitative practice. His video has garnered more than 100,000 views.
Lots of Chinese people come to Africa to film this kind of video and then sell them on Taobao [China’s version of Amazon]. These people are exploiting our culture. The person who made this video is exploiting African children by putting them on YouTube and Chinese social media. The children don’t understand what they are saying. This kind of video destroys trust between China and Africa. It’s scandalous.
This video was widely criticised on social media

“and realizing just how much prejudice towards blacks existed there.
It seems a common trait in the East.”
And in the west.
Let’s not suddenly be holier than thou. There are reasons people pre-judge. It’s based on experience, there usually are good reality-based reasons to be prejudiced.
It’s a generalization and the first fall back position when you meet a stranger. After you start interacting with him, you determine whether he fits that generalization or not and you proceed accordingly.
It’s the simplest and most basic trait of human nature. It’s the way we react when we see a big dog. Until you know better you assume he might bite you.
Chinese apparently think they are the Master Race.
I thought the left only believed white people could be racist.
Don’t be stupid, be a smarty
Come and join the Chinese Communist Party
Strange that this new virus kills Black people in disproportional numbers in our cities.
“Now... how many are ones where the Chinese spouse is paired with a black person?”
Such pairings are not unusual in TV commercials these days.
Wiki: Since 1997, around 40 African heads of state have visited the PRC. The ministerial meeting, Forum on China-Africa Cooperation (FOCAC), held in Beijing in October 2000 was the first collective dialogue between the PRC and African nations.
In July 2019, 37 UN ambassadors, including Algeria, Angola, Cameroon, Congo, DRC, Egypt, Eritrea, Nigeria, Somalia, South Sudan, Sudan, Zimbabwe, and other African states, have signed a joint letter to the UNHRC defending China’s treat- ment of Uyghurs and Muslim minority groups in Xinjiang.

The tattoo con man probably told him it means “Eye of the Tiger” or some such macho bullshyte. So now this doofus walks around with a tattoo that says “Hi, my name is ....”
