Viral Video Sparks Racism Debate as Chinese Manager Beats African Workers
Allegations of racial discrimination have again flared up against Chinese nationals working in African countries after a video showing a Chinese man whipping African workers with a stick went viral on social media today. The viral video shared on microblogging platform X (formerly known as Twitter) by Dom Lucre, journalist and founder of BTNNetwk, posted, “Chinese employer in Africa treating his employees like Trans-Atlantic slaves.”
Lucre further said, “It appears the Chinese are ‘fare more racist than the White man’ in Africa. In the viral video, the African workers are seen sitting in what looks like a container and the Chinese man is yelling at them. Then he takes out a stick and starts beating African workers mercilessly, while they cover their heads to avoid any serious injury.
