Soccer Team Manager Makes Racist Comment About Hwang Hee Chan, Gets Trolled To The Next Dimension
본문
During a pre-match press conference, soccer team Manchester City‘s manager Pep Guardiola referred to the South Korean player Hwang Hee Chan while talking about the opposing team, the Wolves.

"Especially up front with Neto, with Cunha, and with uh- the Korean guy."

The internet went wild over Guardiola’s oh-so-casual racism. Both Koreans and non-Koreans found Guardiola’s comment to be disrespectful to Hwang, especially knowing that “butchering names and/or not caring to learn them” is a long-standing form of microaggression that Asians face.

In fact, the Wolves took to TikTok and made sure that Hwang Hee Chan’s name was etched in Man City manager’s brain forever.

One tweet then reported that during the post-match conference, Guardiola said “Hwang” when talking about Hwang Hee Chan’s work.

Unfortunately, the soccer world remains hostile to “the Korean guys,” it seems—with equally renowned player Son Heung Min regularly facing racial discriminations.
