Minorities cannot be racist we are told.

Dont see what the problem is.

Maybe they were all starring in a rap video right then.

Sounds like a rhetorical question. As we know, even LeBron is not truly free. Very sad. They are Democrat plantation slaves, even though some brilliant blacks, such as Dr. Sowell, Justice Thomas and Candace Owens pretend to be free.

On top of this list:
List of ethnic slurs in Chinese
鬼子 (guǐzi) – “Guizi”, devils, refers to foreigners.

A brief excerpt from Wikipedia on “Racism in China”:
....
Publicized incidents of discrimination against Africans have been the Nanjing anti-African protests in 1988 and a 1989 student-led protest in Beijing in response to an African dating a Chinese person.

Police action against Africans in Guangzhou has also been reported as discriminatory....

In 2009, accusations by Chinese media that African undocumented immigrants residing in China could be as high as 200,000 people sparked racist attacks over the internet against Africans and mixed African-Chinese people.

In 2017, a museum in Wuhan was condemned for comparing Africans to wild animals.

In 2018, the CCTV New Year’s Gala sparked controversies for blackface performances and portraying Africans as “inept, pathetic” as well as submissive to the support from China. During the CCTV New Year’s Gala in 2021, Chinese actors again put on blackface; the Chinese Foreign minister denied that the performance was racist.

Reports of racism against Africans and black foreigners of African descent in China grew during the COVID-19 pandemic in mainland China. Black foreigners not from Africa have also faced racism and discrimination in China....

This was in China? Did the people even know what they were saying?

The Chinese word for "uuuuuuummmmmmm" is "Niga"

That is Chinese language doesn't have "ummmmm", so when they are stuck for a word their equivalent will be to say "Niga Niga Niga"

Maybe that's what they were hearing

Correct—most of the world is truly racist.

Claims the US is a “racist country” are stunningly ignorant of how the rest of the planet operates.

The characterization of Black Americans as oppressed and victimized is stupid and wrong. In truth, the struggle over freedom and dignity for Black Americans changed America for the better and induced us to more truly live by the principles of our Declaration and to more fully dedicate ourselves to freedom and equality.

What are all these social justice warriors in the NBA going to do about it? Nothing since they are bought and paid for by China.

Considering how rappers use the word the Chinese may have thought it was a term of endearment.

Only white people can be racist. And all white people are racists, because it’s in their genes. Chinese have no power, so they cannot be racist, any more than blacks can be racist. Anyone who denies the truth and logic of this argument is a racist, unless they’re black, in which case they’re an Uncle Tom, or Chinese, in which case they are an enemy of the State./s

We are told by proseletizers of CRT that only whites can be racist. By their logic, the Chinese yelling at Sonny Weems were not being racist but perhaps merely overly familiar.
