Remember how you've been told America is the most racist country on the planet?
Watch this (with a MASSIVE language warning):
Yeah, that's really, really, REALLY bad.
Sonny Weems is an American player who plays with the Southern Tigers, a Chinese team based in Dongguan, a coastal city in southeast China.
More background on what led to this scene:
It's not immediately clear why the fans in the video shouted at Weems. He and Han Dejun, a player for the Liaoning Flying Leopards, clashed near the Southern Tigers bench on Thursday after Han fell to the floor guarding a drive from Weems in the third quarter, Xinhua News reported.
While the referee watched a video replay to check for fouls, Han approached the Guangdong bench and punched Weems, who retaliated, per Xinhua. The outlet reported that both players were sent off the court after being separated by the referee and their teammates.
Despite how bad this is, I've been told repeatedly that only people with historical privilege (those with white European ancestors) can be racist, and that any attempt to criticize Asian individuals is an example of #AsianHate.
Therefore, I have to conclude that based on the new "anti-racist" principles, this wasn't racist. I mean, sure, these Chinese individuals hate this man based on the color of his skin and his ethnicity, but that's irrelevant. They haven't benefited from the institutions of the white Eurocentric Patriarchy, so they must be innocent!
Then again, I suppose Asians are being called "white" now whenever the wokies find it convenient!
