Chicago Group Beating of Asian Teen, Chinese Netizen Reactions

A group of teenagers kicking and beating a Chinese boy in Chicago.

On Sina Weibo:

@YouTube精选: Outrageous! Recently, this “Chicago Asian boy beaten by group” video has been spreading on various foreign sharing websites: The 17-year-old boy not only had his sports shoes [sneakers/trainers] and wallet robbed, he was also repeatedly beaten by the 7 thugs! [怒] While bullying and robbery can be found in every country… At present, Chicago police are already investigating this matter.

Where’s the Chinese kung fu?

志在权倾_:

Descendent of corrupt officials, deserves to be beaten.

Wai_Nam: (responding to above)

How do you know he’s a child of government officials?

往日寂忆:

Fucking foreign devils, overseas Chinese should stick together, or else they’ll always be bullied.

刘宗配音:

Don’t make this more than than it is. The middle school student videos from Guangdong these past few years are much more cruel than this. It’s a common phenomenon around the world.

爱学英文的克里斯:

Human flesh search these bastards. Fuck

加个卤蛋:

If he’s the child of a civil servant [Chinese government official], then he deserves to be beaten!

Fuck, American pigs.

响马屯:

Immediately gouge the eyes of one of them, and the rest of them will all be [scared] stupid.

孙巍律师:

I watched half of it and I really couldn’t watch the rest. Poor kid…

ck5000:

When foreigners attack people in China, no one dares to do anything about it either… It’s happened so many times now.

猫_Blue:

“If he’s the son of a corrupt official, then he deserves to be beaten”. This kind of comment is really unbelievable, why is the hate for no reason transferred [onto the child]?

美国代购-gogo:

Overseas students abroad, you must take care to protect yourselves.

王欢无泪大欢:

These bastards are sick, both beating and filming it, even uploading it onto the internet…

盐颜男子:

The United States is place where the strong prey on the weak, and safety in public can also vary greatly between different places. This kind of thing is very normal, it isn’t just against Asians, although Asians happen to have relatively weaker physiques.

军港嘟嘟:

Why [did this happen]? 7 against 1? [怒] Nowhere is there peace~

laiyx2001:

Every country has scum.

Ellis_Luk:

First worry about our own country’s school violence.

中华人民风雨同舟:

Throughout history, white people have always been inhuman! You think China are the Indians [Native Americans]. Whose child is this? Encourage him to learn martial arts.

Stephen_史提芬:

If you don’t want to be bullied abroad, learn martial arts… Laowai are all afraid of Chinese kung fu.

July-77th:

shit you Fucking American

清河卧虫:

Can anyone explain what happened?

Limochio:

All we have to do is beat up some Chicago person here [and it'll be even].

洋洋洒洒Patrick:

Human scum can be found anywhere.

DArchie:

In the video they yell “Chinese negro”!… Are Chinese people very black?… I never knew America was this frightening~~~!!

吴宗宪2010:

Beating kids is wrong, a crime. But considering the probabilities, this may very well be the son of a corrupt or naked government official [one whose wife and children are sent abroad]. In that case, I have to applaud this!! Well-beaten!! Beat him to death!! Beat him until his large intestines fly out of his anus!! Oh yeah!! I welcome all black people and white people to wildly beat the son and grandsons of overseas citizens of Chinese origin!! Curb corrupt officials from fleeing abroad!!

凡怒:

Americans have human flesh searched them out. Of those beating, three are Chinese. The one in grey is named Wesley Wu.

Joseph_Lyricson: (responding to above)

Fuck, that’s really quick… Requesting the truth [of what happened].

凡怒: (responding to above)

This thing is really big in America, they even have their telephone numbers already.

A gang of Chicago teens beat up and rob a Chinese boy on video.

429105730_f20e9f:

Don’t let me see laowai right now.

Sunshine_Jason:

Strongly demand the local police investigate this incident.

开元真爷们:

Hope he’s a little Japanese or bangzi!

嚧小宇:

He was pretty fast running away.

无恶不作的小霸王_:

So a Cantonese speaker becomes a “nigga” [汗]

Cayenne-Z:

Fucking Americans!

Mini-端:

I hear there are already new developments to the matter, that there are even Chinese people amongst the attackers. A wise man doesn’t fight when the odds are against him, running away is the right move. Then go home and buy a baseball bat, maybe an aluminum one, then find them and beat them to death one by one. [怒][怒][怒]

細嘉tm:

Any place where there is people is scary.

valderfieldsS:

Laowai are all this vicious? Are they as vicious as our chengguan? [思考]

无恶不作的小霸王_: (responding to 凡怒)

No way, Chinese beating Chinese? Fuck.

BigRaymond:

I’m here to read the comments – - I wonder what the comments would be like if it were Asians ganging up and beating a laowai?

龚小7:

In this kind of situation where one is being bullied, one has to target one person. Even if you’re beaten to death, you still have to go after one of them. At this moment, you have to go all out against one of them, bite off his ear, and not let go even if you’re beaten to death.

哈哈哈呜哈哈哈:

A sharp contrast to how laowai are treated like gods in our country.

曼波哥:

Why is the one thing I keep hearing: “f*ck you nigger”?

selen_chan:

How can this happen?! [怒] So lawless!!! [哼] Hope Chicago police will justly deal with this and not cover it up. [右哼哼] Doesn’t matter if this Asian boy is Chinese or not, we should all be concerned for him. [悲伤] These fucking Americans have truly embarrassed their country!! [愤怒][愤怒] Forward this forward this! Let even more people know about it!

Tony_Stark沈琦伟:

Upon arriving in America, the first one one should do is spend some money buying a handgun and learn how to easy it. Keep it on you to protect yourself, in order to protect yourself against this kind of situation. The moment a bunch of overconfident thugs see a muzzle, they’ll run faster than even dogs. Even if you open fire and kill a few, you’ll be judged not guilty according to American law.

林延ping:

@美国驻华大使馆 #美国驻华大使馆 [United States Embassy in China] The person the laowai in this video are yelling at is Chinese, so everyone forward this to the American Embassy.

我叫洛梓潼:

How come the person who filmed this didn’t help him?

tenffy王小灰:

Our own people bully our own, much less foreigners. Always thinking our country is so strong and powerful, but is it the people or the government that has nothing to do with us that’s strong and powerful? Not many people understand this.

Jerry小乖:

To be completely blunt, in the eyes of laowai, Asian males are just competition for their jobs and Asian women are just there to service them.

小雯纸Alice:

TMD racial discrimination yet again, what are Americans so cocky about, a bunch of… I don’t even know what word to use anymore to condemn those Americans… [怒][怒][怒]

胡鸿希:

The comments are even more upsetting than the video. [Some of] you only fucking know how to how to make meaningless stupid remarks.

梦落长门:

Everyone add @美国驻华大使馆 [to their comments to forward it to the American consulate Weibo account].

小芹卓玛Mia:

It could very well just be the child of an official or rich Chinese studying abroad. If he’s beaten, then so be it. Even if they beat him to death, who cares?

自我_Xiao:

Take a look, the vanity of Chinese people wanting to emigrate abroad, serves them right for being beaten to death! Anyone with a bit of national pride would not go abroad. Foreigners think Chinese people are fools. Foreigners don’t dare to be so cocky in China unless they want to be beaten to death! Why I fucking JB hate the most are those ABCs! Think you’re so niubi, right? Go out and you’re just like a dog! [弱][弱][怒骂][怒骂][鄙视][鄙视]

可爱的Supe雷雷:

I wonder what kind of treatment foreign students get in China? Are there also people who would attack/beat them? Or simply look at them favorably with curiosity and envy? When seeing someone from Chicago in the future, first give them a beating!

Veranatay-詩牛:

More or less there’s always some discrimination by laowai toward Chinese, so I don’t envy living abroad at all.

神策圣堂:

This is exactly why I think Chinese people, even those working in foreign companies, who give themselves an English name for no reason are all SB. Did your parents not give you a name? Even your laowai boss, have him call you by your [Chinese] name, and they will actually respect you for it…

So this is what America means by “human rights”? China’s [pro-America netizens] should sober up.

It may be, but at present we don’t know the reasons [behind the beating]. No matter what, I trust the majority of ordinary Americans couldn’t do this kind of thing! It’s better [for everyone] to be more rational, even if we’re very angry!!

If this is how Japanese people are treated in America, the treatment of Chinese people may be even more sad. I think he’s Chinese. Asians are a small minority in America. This problem is not as simple as whether he is Chinese or Japanese.

Americans beating Americans, what are you guys getting so excited for?

    there you go, record and share your criminal activities.

      This is just how Asians act. They think that violence in the streets is the only way to solve anything. They are just like monkeys…

      • Mansu Musa

        You guys don’t understand the real situation here. The guy getting beaten is a real bastard, he had a gang of 20 people beat up the other 7 kids prior the the events in this video. The 7 kids are just getting their revenge. As you see they didn’t even beat him that hard as they are good kids, a bit stupid for yelling “nigger” and filming this video but nevertheless they are not bad people.

        • Irvin

          how the fuck do you know?

        • Just John

          All I heard was “Hey, lets fight violence with violence”.

          So, first, it starts as a fist fight.
          Next comes the knives.
          Soon you have the guns being waves around.
          After that it is raping the niggers girlfriend to get back at him.
          Then you have swat coming in, arresting the gangs.
          The community then starts protesting the cops invading their community to arrest some kids.
          This escalates into a riot.
          The governor starts calling in the national guards to restore order.
          The mobs over-run the guard.
          The regular army is then called in to regain order.
          The Chinese government sees the army invading the Chinese areas, and sees lots of Chinese running around.
          This causes a panic on the internet, with many Chinese thinking that the US army is invading China, not realizing the Chinese in the videos are really Chinese in the US.
          This leads to the Chinese government declaring war on the US.
          The Chinese then launches strikes against the US.
          The US retaliates with smart bombs against key Chinese military points.
          China retaliates with strikes against US cities.
          The US retaliates with mass bombing.
          China retaliates with a full invasion force and starts taking part of the US.
          The US retaliates with nuclear weapons to quell opposition.
          China surprises the US and launches a counter attack with nuclear weapons that it bought from North Korea.
          World dies in nuclear winter created.

          All because one person felt that the proper response to violence was more violence.

          • coala banana

            not bad. Like you imagination ! Chain reaction theory ! People would be surprise when they would know how some of the worst events in human history started with very dumb things, ideas, actions.

            Religion being one of this example. An ordinary beduin went to a cave and later told everyone that the angel gabriel appeared to him. No one witnessed it. A small group took it for granted, the group became bigger and bigger….now we have Islam ! No one allowed to question anything ! target: conquer the world and spread the word of the desert religion.

            Jesus, an unimportant rabbie, one of many which claimed they are the messiah, crucified and already forgotten for the next 60 year,(cause no one gave a shit). Some dumb asses collected some info here and there and wrote the gospels (none of them actually ever heard jesus or saw him). 300 years later, a roman emperors (constantine) mother which was a christian nuts head, talked her son into proclaiming christianity as state religion…..karl the great….war, war, war….inquisition, burning women….invading other continents and countries and spread that shit…..voila: christianity. All sins will be forgiven, like rape and murder, as long as you accept jesus as your savior and believe in the invisible men in the sky. Sounds cool for all the criminals through history of time….

            Buddha ? cool dude, no question, not much to complain here.

            Someone fucked a monkey in africa 100 years ago or eat his meat….fuck, fuck, suck, suck….american gays, euro gays, asian gays…..heroine junkies…..no condoms (cause church condemns them in africa)…more sucky and fucky….HIV/Aids epidemy….

            but lets not look at everything negative JJ….here is a positive chain reaction….remember the guy which thought about an apple falling from a tree, around 300 years ago ?……what an impact !!!

            “China surprises the US and launches a counter attack with nuclear weapons that it bought from North Korea.”

            Dumbest statement EVER. NK has about as much chance of making a working nuke as their fat ass new leader has of losing 50 pounds.

          • anon

            Well, excepting the fact that Just John is simply making the point that responding to violence with more violence is morally suspect, what makes that statement dumb isn’t that North Korea isn’t capable of making a working nuke (the world believes it already has but just hasn’t yet weaponized it in the conventional sense of making it easily deliverable to targets), its that China has to buy nuclear weapons from North Korea at all. China has its own nuclear arsenal and capability. It doesn’t need North Korea.

          • Just John

            Von, if you are saying that you are taking my comment seriously, them you need a CAT scan to check for brain damage.

            It was a hyperbole satire pointing out the stupidity of the concept that violence requires more violence.

    this beating had nothing to do with the government, its just some stupid kids who dont get enough attention at home so they act out, he got beat because he did the right thing in telling a teacher about them cheating in class.

    “Police Supt. Garry McCarthy told CBS 2 Chief Correspondent Jay Levine that detectives are still looking for two more suspects, and the six already being held will soon be charged.

    McCarthy said the attack was not racially motivated, but was in retaliation for an earlier incident.”

    Outrageous! In China, chinese people never prey on each other, and things like this never happen because. Oh wait…..

        I do like how most of the comments are roughly “look at these violent Americans they’re so evil, next time I see one I’ll gouge his eyes out.”

        • anon

          Most? There were only like 2-3 out of 80 some translated comments that was like that.

          If you go read the hundreds now thousands of original Chinese comments, I think there are actually more comments assuming the kid is the son of some corrupt Chinese official and therefore its somehow deserved and karmic justice that he gets his ass beat.

    • Uberche

      I love you Uncle Tom!

  • Jay K.

    i dont understand where is the racism in this if you are looking at it from a point of view inw hich its asian vs asian, specifically some foreign chinese student vs abc(s). how about posters on the chinese bbs just see it for what it is chinese vs chinese, even though those kids fighting are chinese american, ethnically there still chinese.

    my say on this is be damn rational at least, if you are going to bitch why not say something like bunch of juveniles fought without honor and guess what it wasnt a race issue.

    more importantly id like to know as to what the background to this fight was, why did it happen

    • donscarletti

      The guy dumb enough to not cover his face was white.

      • Jay K.

        that kid hardly did anything except for a few cheap weak shots. im reading mroe into it though. if that 20-2 jump off prior is true from other sources i’ve seen. then this has become a full blown group fight, i see let em go at it. because if 20-2 did truly happen(im not saying i conclude to this, i didn’t and these 6 kids plus the white token dude, did jump this one guy who was in the previous bruhaha, then hey i will say this get your ass licking but dont cry to the media and pull the “victim card” fuck that, and just like fuck people who pull the “race card” out

        • anon

          Right, IF you looked at it from the point of view of it involving Asian on Asian violence. The reason why there are accusations of racism is because a lot of people didn’t actually know that some of the attackers were ethnically Asian as well. A lot of people thought it was a group of white kids beating up a poor Asian kid, because that was the information that was attached to a lot of the copies of the video that went around.

          If you read through the Chinese netizen comments, you’ll notice that people later come in pointing out that it was discovered that some of the attackers are Chinese too. The original poster didn’t mention that, perhaps because he didn’t know, like most people didn’t initially. Even with people later commenting that some of the attackers were Chinese too, you have people who don’t actually read other people’s comments or go out of their way to find more information, so some accusations of racism will continue until those people learn more details.

          You have the benefit of knowing more information that they did. The Chinese comments on Weibo actually aren’t very different from the comments on YouTube or Twitter.

          • coala banana

            a few days ago, people called some dead US soldiers either american or chinese, depending how it serves their own personal opinion about it. Now this are asian kids beating an asian kid, so how we will call this kids now which are american citizens ? asians ? chinese american ? abc’s ? does that really matter ? this happens anywhere and everywhere in the world. When no minorities are present then the majority would starts to separate amongst each others too, thats what humans do, like i used to say, still more monkey then any of the monkeys.

            This chinese student took a beating, he is alive, the shots he took were weak, otherwise how he could run away so fast. He will learn his lesson and should learn to defend his self and work on his self-confidence. The kids which beat him will be ID and get their punishment, in hope that they will learn their lesson too.

            Thats the problem with integration, everyone seems to expect it from immigrants, but even they do integrate, find work, pay taxes, get their american citizenship and passport, they will still and always be reduced as a mexican, nigger or chinese in the eyes of many, even in the eyes of each others. The outlook of the attacking american citizens which look chinese, is enough for some to call them chinese. Well they didn’t do the things they did cause they were chinese or looked like chinese. Since this is a world wide phenomenon we can’t reduce it to races and nationalities.

            Integration is an interesting things, in the eyes of people you will always be what they want to see in you out of their own ignorance, it doesn’t matter how much effort you put into to become worthy to be accepted by the so called “society”. The ones which are strong enough with a strong character and personality can live with that and keep moving forward, cause they know that you can never keep a good men down. But the majority of them most likely can’t handle, so out of their own weakness they look for their own and separate themselves more and more from the society and form parallel societies within their own ethnicity, seeing themselves (even they ARE citizens of another country) as chinese, mexican, korean, palestinian or whatever……in europe its the same story, not many foreigners (in fact citizens) would call themselves german or french or british….especially people from middle east and arab countries…as dumber they are as more they isolate from society even its just for the sake to be different then the locals, seems kinda cool to them. Its weakness, nothing else. This boys did it too out of their own ignorance and weakness, give them a good public beating, send them for a couple of month in a labor camp, send their earnings to the victim, and they will be ok. Not bad kids, just no developed personalities which do stupid things out of ignorance….

      • coala banana

        which proves how hard it is to americanize this chinese folks, even they become citizens, they are still smarter then white americans :-). Maybe one of the reasons many of them don’t assimilate, they don’t want to put themselves on the same dumber level of the locals ?

        Well, they will anyway be caught, but at least they show some sort of attempt not to get caught by hiding their faces, the dumb white boy appears not to have a clue whats or ever, probably he thought its not against the law to beat the shit out of an chinese exchange student, so why hide my face ? however, the fact that they hide their faces speaks that their intention was to film it and to make it public, the white boy just wanted to get sure that everyone would know who he is…..people do strange things for a moment of “glory “.::-))

          coala banana, please just the shut the fuck up. You are now embarrassing all Europeans. You are completely contradicting yourself now. Quite a few times you come here rant about how enlightened Europeans are, while what you have shown so far is nothing but how contradictory and ignorant you really are. Not once in any of your rants on this post (or any previous rants for that matter) have you give an erudite analysis of the actual circumstances involved. Your rants are nothing but poor generalizations. Nothing about socioeconomic backgrounds, psychological backgrounds, parental guidance, or anything of actual relevancy is mentioned. (Instead everything comes down to racist generalizations.) But wait…who am I to give you a lecture huh? Just wait I’m about to ass rape your wife you fucking euro whore. FUCK EURO FUCKTARDS you broke fucks. I hope Russia gives roll all you fucks tomorrow so we can all watch it on Cunt-Tube (aka CNN).

            “Nothing about socioeconomic backgrounds, psychological backgrounds, parental guidance, or anything of actual relevancy is mentioned.”

            I must admit, thats not what me and your mother had in mind when we made you that one day at the school toilette. So yes, hate that you have to find it out this way, but….. I am your daddy !!! It was in fact a gang bang, but i was the first one who shoot his load into her, so, mea culpa ! Not that i feel responsible about how you turned out to be, but i think its the circumstances about how you came into being, that made you the dumb person you are now.

            Now take the thumb out of your mouth, the dildo out of your ass and the plastic doll off your dick, stop sniffing your grand mothers dirty underwear, and take your meds !

    By the time I saw this vid earlier today, all the punks involved had already been named and were getting it up the a** a thousand different ways from a million people in the US of ALL different races… on top of the police investigation.

    And Weibo commenters dare to even talk about racism? Half the attackers were Chinese/Asian too! Not that that makes it any less stupid.. (still shaking my head at the “ni**a!”s being thrown around).

    In China subways, racial insults have been thrown right at me (masked by heavily accented Chinese of course) and within earshot of hundreds of Chinese passengers, without any of them even batting an eye.. so don’t mind me for laughing while Chinese yell “bloody murder” at this vid.
    If the same happened in mainland what would happen? “Good job!, That foreign devil deserved it!”?

    • donscarletti

      Racial insults are thrown right at you within earshot of hundreds of Chinese passengers. Nobody does anything.

      Insults are thrown at between Chinese within earshot of hundreds of Chinese passengers. Nobody does anything.

      Racial insults are thrown by you within earshot of hundreds of Chinese passengers. Someone posts a video online and it gets 50k comments strongly objecting to arrogant laowai and calls to teach him a lesson. Nobody does anything.

      Blaming Chinese for inactivity is like blaming a dog for licking its genitals. It doesn’t mean they support the racist remarks, it’s just kind of what they do.

          I’m truly repulsed by the cruelness og these kids, but that comment was pretty funny.

        • donscarletti

          Hard stretch of imagination to imagine someone calling me “that” on account of my decidedly non-black complexion and features. However, I wouldn’t have imagined that the young man in the above video being called “that” either until I watched it.

          I’ve never been racially abused in a subway, I was just replying to the parent, saying that Chinese as a general rule are more likely to be complacent than racist.

      • Josh

        So true. Just look at that girl that got ran over by two vans.

        Chinese from china and other places like malaysia and singapore are unbelievably ignorant in every sense. They can criticise others but never themselves. Boils my blood…

        • anon

          You’ve got to be joking. You’re commenting on a website that translates countless examples of Chinese netizens criticizing their own country and society…

            Don’t jump to conclusions anon. I’ve seen it for myself countless of times how ignorant and how much chinese are willing to abdicate responsibility and help to someone in need.

            Not to mention they always moan at others but are willing to turn a blind eye when a chinese is at fault.

          • Josh

            P.S. in real life I mean, not here. I doubt any netizens will have the conviction to carry their voice to the public.

            Sorry, how am I jumping to conclusions? You said Chinese never criticize themselves. I pointed out that they often do, as evidenced by many of the Chinese comments translated on this website. I didn’t jump to any conclusion, I disagreed with your statement and pointed to the evidence supporting my disagreement.

          • Josh

            Sorry I didn’t mean to offend. I see what you mean but my counter argument was that when they’re not behind their computers these people would not have the conviction to share their views in real life.

            Thats my view from what I see everyday.

        :-))))

        remembers me of the guy which stood in front of me in the GZ job market, point at me and screamed: “we chinese should all come together and take this foreigners and shoot them all !!!”

        I was sitting at our booth, hiring staff, interviewing people, my secretary, my HR manager, chinese co-owner and his wife sit right next to me, but no word from anyone. Thousand people in the job market and no one did or said a thing.

        My first thoughts were, that maybe its the husband of one of the many girls and women i fucked, cause at that time i was more active then ever, specialized on chinese milfs. However the guy disappeared again and business was as usual. Looking at it from this angle, i was more disturbed by the guys which passed by the booth and let out a fart, or sit there for an interview but couldn’t get a word out, or the may which just keep on sitting even you told them that they are not qualified for this particular job. They just keep on sitting for another 10-15 minutes staring at the wall behind you, that is the kind of shit which really scares me.

        Ever fired someone and he went nuts laying on his table, screaming, yelling and crying for the rest of the day, non of the other office staff cares? they just keep on eating their lunch and keep on working, while this guy plays his nuts game. No one gave a shit. I found such things rather entertaining. Chinese are the coolest MFs on this planet ! If one thought so far that he has witnessed people which doesn’t give a shit, then welcome to china, where “doesn’t give a shit” was brought to hole new levels and heights:-)

        Fuck, china is definitely NEVER boring, its like a mix of soap opera, drama, circus and comedy show.

    When I was a kid living in some apartments The word “NIGGA” was not something said by Asian kids, but we had a lot of black people around (and no we had almost no racial problems it was very mixed). The white kids in the suburbs don’t go around and say “NIGGA” unless you are a wigger (they will say nigger occasionally tho). Trust me, if you are a wigger you say “NIGGA” a lot. *By this I mean normally this happen when no black people are around. LMAO.

    So these are Asian kids in an majority Asian neighborhood and it’s pretty funny.

    Just stating facts. not being racist.

  • Ho hum

    The stupidity of the commenters…turning it into a laowai vs. Chinese matter without knowing a) if the person being attacked is actually Chinese or b) the identity of the attackers. Surely this is pertinent if you’re going to turn it into an anti-China racial issue?

    Beyond that, it takes one second to see what’s going on – someone’s being rolled – and realise that people of all races all over the world get robbed and beaten by people of all races. Even in China. This reflexive, collective assumption of laowai-on-Chinese is just another example of the victim mentality that’s all too common in China.

  • Alamchop

    Hmm….. The Chinese now realize the 1st world – 3rd world relationship. The 3rd worlder in a 1st world country is “Poop,” while a 1st worlder in a 3rd world country is a god. However, the most profound reason why the chinese is easily discriminated in many 1st world countries is their inferiority complex. After the opium war (to today,) the chinese went from arguably the most respected and privileged people in the world (whether it came from the west, arabic, or sinospheric world) to simply undesirable to many. China had lost their 1st war to the West, which indicated that the industrial revolution truly marked western civ. had surpassed chinese civ. The west went from the marco polo mentality of “china is the most civilized country on earth” to china is “sick.” Having a civilization surpass them allowed china to enter its “age of humiliation.” The next straw was pulled with the break down of the sinosphere: Japan’s rise. Japan looked at the west as “big brother,” imitated it, and tried to conquer the “inferior” china.

    When china became communist, china’s wish of reclaiming its pre-opium war position “as the most power country on earth” was further halted. China became a “inferior” version of the S.U.—- a 3rd world country Those who stuck to the sinosphere, N. Korea and Vietnam, also fell into this position. S Korea and Japan, with the Americosphere, rose to 1st world status.

    Even if china is now ridding itself from its recent 200 year disaster, china’s grand humiliation is still marked in the world and on china itself. China is still “backwords” to many. Anyone who is chinese still can not find their long lost respect they had 4800 years ago. Within china, “laowais” are 1st class citizens, not because they have a 1st world income, but because the chinese suffer an inferiority complex. The chinese see the west and japan as Imperialists: that word’s definition puts china as an inferior country.

    The chinese don’t remember the time when they themselves were “imperialists” and being chinese “was eternal glory” to nearly all. They don’t remember the time when they were the “richest and most technologically advanced country in the world.” (0ad to 1800ad, 200bc to 1600ad respectively)–They see china’s prosperity as a “recent” phenomenon as they believe china”was and always was poor.” They don’t remember the time when having a chinese person discriminate others was “ok” and to have him discriminated against by others was “unacceptable.” (ex. when the Ming Chinese attacked the Portuguese and kidnapped their soldiers, Portugal “tolerated it”. Yet, when the Portuguese did the same and made their kidnappies slaves, the Portuguese crown was disgusted of the idea of “Chinese slaves.”

    If the chinese wants to stop being discriminated, then they must rid themselves of their inferiority complex and show their recent history was out of the norm to the world. They must say china is re-rising, not simply “rising.” They must reinstate their historical mentality.

    This video shows how someone with an inferiority complex chickens out at being attacked. The chinese kid accepted being humiliated, hence was beaten. Yet if the kid thought “this is ridiculous, i am chinese, decendent of the yellow emperor, blah and blah, their is no way i can be placed below superior,” he would have went on a rampage on the attackers.

        No, but it’s the fact that Amy Holly Fung, the girl who was filming the incident and has made varioius statements about the issue, has called the victim “fresh off the boat”, which shows that in a sense, he was a minority because although the majority of the people related to the incident were racially chinese, the victim’s status as non American born, and his lack of english skills – which can be seen in the video – creates a slight inferiority.

        • Anon

    • Hongjian

      I agree with your points here.

      Another point I might add would be that China traditionally was never a warrior culture, but one that placed intellectual virtue and economic savvy higher than the things that could enable them to be respected amongs the other nations at the time of imperialism. Chinese are thus also always considered cowards and weak subhumans. Which isnt wrong at all.

      Quite some few PLA generals also noticed that historic chinese cultural disadvantage, and are collectively calling out for more militarism and war-like culture in China today, which is entirely desireable in my view.
      Chinese people, who are still surrounded by war-like nationalities, and are directly threatened by the americans, who are the most war-like nation on earth, should offset their inherent pacifism and cowardice, by fully embracing fascism, militarism and nazism. Chinese national socialism must be more bloodthirsty, more cruel and more brutal than any of the warrior-cultures threatening her, to make up its own lack of warrior culture, and on the same time strenghten her Volkskörper with sports, that isnt just the useless shit which is only useful for winning the olympics, but real warrior’s disciplines that will help them to kill an american with their bare hands.
      China must reform itself to become a grand imperialist nation capable and willing for comitting warcrimes, slaughter, rape and pillage, and the final genocide of all the races that stands against her (not that pussy shit that is being claimed to happen in Tibet – I’m talking about real concentration camps and holocaust by nuclear means). And of course simple fucking total war.

      Only with a cataclysmic and apocalyptic war that wipes out the white race from the face of the earth, China can clean her historic stain of humiliation and defeat off her history. All who ever remembered China being on an inferior place to whites and japs, should be turned into dust by nuclear fire and the crematorium after being gassed with Zyklon B, so that the Chinese nation can march ahead with pride and ensured racial superiority for ten thousand years.

      Signed; All americans should be lined up and shot.

        • Hongjian

          “China’s great ancestry and history ”

          There’s nothing great by being defeated and humiliated.

          Greatness is defined by how many enemy skulls you can gather before your house to walk on, and how many women and children of the enemy race you have raped and enslaved, just as well of how many enemy’s worthy warriors you have mercilessly slaughtered on the battlefields to assemble these skulls.

          Greatness is NEVER defined by just sitting out enemy attacks, suffering from their rape and pillage and surviving like a cockroach or a rat hiding in a hole without dignity or honour – It is to return the favor with a hundred thousands times the brutality and mercilessness, until the enemy could never ever recover to do the same to you.

          Are you another one of those cancerous stupid AQs and beta faggots who will silently sit out the ass-rape while feeling good inside for being ‘culturally superior’ enough to not strike back?
          People like you were and still are the cancer that is killing China.
          Being the victim is NEVER superior. Get the fuck out with your hippie shit, before I sodomize your ass with the barrel of my dual 12 gauge!

          • Josh

            Get it right. China fell because of incompetent bureaucracy, corruption and the lack of modernisation to keep up with the rest of the world. This pattern can be traced to all great civilisation that fell. To show you know nothing Hongjian here is some wisdom for you:

            “Victorious warriors win first and then go to war, while defeated warriors go to war first and then seek to win”

            “Ultimate excellence lies not in winning every battle, but in defeating the enemy without ever fighting.”

            “There is no instance of a country having benefited from prolonged warfare. ”

            Art of War, Sun Tzu.

            Like I said, Don’t send others to die for you just because your ego is bruised you hypocrite. There are many ways to defeat one opponent than to start a war.

            Greatness is to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat, to rise back like the phoenix. Honour is to do the right thing even when it means its the hardest thing. Dignity to conduct yourself the right way. You have none of these.

            Do you rather slay the beast and become the beast itself? Then you’re no better than the enemy you hate.

    • E Puff

      I too believe Chinese people feel like they are inferior to westerners. For the most part, Americans respect chinese on a high level. If you read some government forms, whites and Chinese are categorically listed as “white people”. Americans perceive Chinese people, based on their actions in America to be smart, hardworking, and never make trouble. People who have said rude things are racist losers who are racist to anyone and everyone. Chinese seems paranoid that westerners are looking down on them and it’s crazy to me. I never hear anyone say bad things about Chinese people in america (okay, people do make fun of accents but they make fun of everyone’s accents). I don’t want to minimize what any person or ethnic group feels but it surprises me to think that Chinese peoiple feel so put down by Americans. I dont know what it is like in the UK.

      Exactly. Checking the facts now I don’t even think it was racially aggravated. At least 4 of those kids are Chinese, and so is the girl who filmed it. Thus proving Asians are smarter since the white kid didn’t even cover his face. LOL.

  • Capt. WED

    These commenters are all retarded.

  • jiayi

    This stuff happens all the time. Racially aggravated assaults are commonplace, and one race attacking another is not any more serious nor disgusting than another. Christ, take a look outside your front door. I don’t understand these netizens’ mindset. They are mixed up. When an average Chinese in a foreign country does something boring or which ‘loses face for Chinese people’, you disown him because he is now a ‘foreigner’. Yet when he does something heroic or becomes victimized, you claim him back as one of your own. Get a reality check. And that bitch who filmed it or whatever, I don’t even.

    • Ho hum

      The point is that it’s not necessarily a racially aggravated assault. And it’s foolish to assume it is. What happened is just as likely – more likely – that the kid being attacked was a nerd/outsider/bit of an asshole or stole one of the attacker’s girlfriends. Or they just wanted his shoes. Or both.

      But no, it’s all add oil China! against the foreign devils…these people are so stupid it’s hard to know where to begin….

    For the people who don’t know Chicago: The incident took place in Bridgeport, which is a mostly Chinese and Italian neighborhood next to Chinatown proper, and since it was an after-school event you can assume they all are locals going to the same school.

          • Hongjian

            China cant be a puppet of the USA, as recently evident by the refusal to comply with the West’s sanctions and trade embargoes against Iran.

            India, Russia, China, Brazil and Turkey all didnt comply with the US’ imperialistic bullshit. While Corea, Japan and all Europeon shithole puppets folded down like a paperbag when the US put pressure on them.

            You can see whether a nation is a pathetic puppet or not by observing them whether they would act against their own national economic interests for the sake of sucking the US and Israel’s cocks: Especially Japan and Germany would need cheap and high quality Iranian oil for their economic recovery – But these are the first nations who complied with the embargo, fucking up their own economy in the process with Gasoline prices of around 1.61€ a litre. What do these nations get as compensation for hightened inflation, unemployment and economic downturn? Only being called “america’s greatest friends” and a pat on the head for being obedient dogs.

            I guess I wont need to sodomize “people” (actually dogs) like you. You are doing it already pretty great by yourself.

      Weird; I’m sure the guy that got beat up said the very same thing.

  • typingfromwork

    Form the police report it seems like some kind of revenge attack between two different gangs. Chicago, eh?

  • Reiffel Range

    Many of you should be ashamed of yourselves.

    First, all those who said if the kid is the son of a civil servant or rich Chinese, I say you are terrible and cruel.

    If he was the son of a rich man, so what? Did the kid choose his birth? No, he did not. Why beat him for the sins of his father?

    To those who say it is laowai beating the Chinese, shame on you for reaching conclusions before you know anything. That shows a racist view by you already. So fast to accuse others, then it turns out you were the racists!

    To those who say it is common everywhere, and is stupid immature kids, not a pattern of the USA, congratulations on showing restraint and understanding. Bullying happens everywhere in the world. China, USA, everywhere. Teach your kids not to bully others.

    To those who blame this on lack of human rights in USA, you are foolish. There is lack of human rights everywhere that individuals beat another person. At least in USA it is not usually government officials and hired thugs beating poor innocent Chinese citizens who only want to stand up to corruption.

    To those who hope the beaten boy is Japanese, hang your head in shame. He is a child! He was born maybe 1998? Long after the Japanese invaded China! Are all young Japanese to be blamed for the crimes of their ancestors? That would be a stupid kind of world to live in. We will never have peace together on earth because if you go back far enough in time, you can always point to someone’s ancestors beating the ancestors of another! This is childish, illogical thinking. Do not fall prey to this kind of stupidity.

    I thank all those who urged moderation, logic, getting more information, and understanding the real situation before making conclusions. You are a credit to your country and to mankind.

  • E Puff

    I could not watch it, even the gif image was too much for me. I cannot stand to watch people suffer. I was born in Chicago, and let me tell you. The kids there kill each other. Chicago had more murders in a year than soldiers killed in Iraq. I was born there, but I won’t even visit that place now, it just feels evil. If you look up the name Dereon Albert, a 16 year old was beaten to death and his beating/murder was caught on video by kids. Poor kid was just trying to get home from school. So this kid should consider himself lucky to be alive. If you go to ChicagoBreakingNews web site you will see more terrible violence. Chicago is probably the worst city in America and most of the crime comes from kids and drug dealers. The crimes there are against man, woman, child, white, black, asian, latino. It is ROUGH. Which is a shame because it’s also a fun place if not for the violence.

    As for the evil people saying the child deserved to be beaten, shame on you! That child never asked to be born, he never asked his parents to relocate him to America so why wish him harm?

  • E Puff

    …also, what I don’t understand is why the child just stand there and not protect himself? It’s strange to me. Did he think those merciless boys would have pity on him and stop? I had a situation where six girls wanted to beat me up over a boy when I was around that kid’s age and they were not able to take me down or beat me up. You have to stand up for yourself no matter what.

  • E Puff

    oh and they might be trying to force the kid into a gang. in chicago, gangs force kids to join. if they refuse, they beaten everyday until they join, or are killed.

  • E Puff

    sorry, i just went to somebody’s link. this happened in bridgeport the most racist neighborhood in Chicago. Chicago is one of the only cities in america that is still segregated. whites live with whites on the north side (which is still a little diverse), asians live in china town. arabs live in their own section, greeks have theirs, blacks have the south side… bridgeport is bad area where white people routinely attack minorities who are seen alone there. i remember one case of a 13 year old boy beaten so severely that he had permanent brain damage and handicapps, he was beaten by several boys.

    • Just John

      Why on earth are you suddenly throwing “racism” into the equation, when there is nothing that even hints that this is an attack based on race (except a few people who made snap judgements without understanding all the facts)?

      In fact, if you look up more information on the story, you will find that over half of the attackers were, shocking, I know, of the same race.

      Maybe instead it’s because they were all thinking of sex, so were not aware of what their bodies were actually doing as they fantasized about their future sexy bodyguard training in her skimpy swimsuit in the sand?

      I swear, your comments really need to be ran through a turing test before you hit the post button, just to make sure you are not an automated bot, since they appear to have a serious disconnect with reality at times and just react to the buzzwords…

      • E Puff

        Whatever. I merely posted on the reality of the neighborhood they are in and the fact that they were calling him the N word. That to me, made it a race issue and was the issue I was referring to.

        • Just John

          Actually, I see I reacted incorrectly. You in fact did not mention this fight and it being racial. Of course, this is a common strawman tactic used by many in debates to try to prove a point, throw in something correct and somehow linked, even if not directly, and then equate it to the current topic. However, you did not do that, and I leapt to the incorrect conclusion (Probably because I have read so many people posting about how it was because he was Chinese, ie. racial).

          I can see you did not in fact mention this particular incident in your story about how the area is, so I am in the wrong, so for that I apologize.

          Now for your reply, you did in fact metion that to you it was racially motivated because of the use of “nigger”. So, now I have to completely disagree with you, as noted in my original, mistaken argument.

          You still owe me an answer though in the swimsuit bodyguard story.

        • Reiffel Range

          You posted on “the reality of the neighbourhood”, NOT the reality of the incident. How dumb is that?

        • Orthodox

          Nigga has become a word used by many young people due to its overuse in rap and hip hop music. Though it still has racial connotation if said to a black person, it is tossed around like bitch or other swears.

          American neighborhoods are not diverse at all. Even within a neighborhood, different ethic groups are in one section. There are demographic maps of places like NYC, broken out by race. There’s “diversity” where the borders meet, but many areas are dominated by a single race. Usually diversity is forced by government policy, without it there would be less interaction.

          Racial violence is common, but most typical is black/hispanic violence due to gangs. There was a phase of “chink bashing” where blacks were beating Asians for awhile in NYC, but I haven’t heard about it for a few years.

          America is probably less racist than other countries due to propaganda efforts. The difference is that America has all races side-by-side, so there are incidents and also experienced based racism. (Such as Koreans in LA versus blacks…) Most other countries have a single race, or if more than one, there’s often a history of violence (Southeast Asian attacks on Chinese, European attacks on Jews). Also, sometimes there is one race because the existing one wiped out the other.

  • Jonston

    Hate me if you must but I can only laugh at this. I can only laugh because anyone who’s been on this site for more than a month can easily imagine the racist comments had the assailants been Black. But they Chinese commenters believe the attackers are their white heroes, they cry, moan and gnash their teeth about racism.

  • staylost

    Sweet, cheaters got caught, and now after this little episode, they are hopefully going to juvi. Enjoy the rest of your failed lives losers!

  • coala banana

    just disgusting, wish i would have been there to beat the crap out of this small bastards, and then pee on them.

    i watched the video and something catches my attention at around 03:07, so i watched again and fast forward to 03:07 and stopped it. This guy in grey looks very much asian to me, wouldn’t surprise me when there were asians amongst them, preferably of canton decent. This kids deserve a good beating, not just cause they beat one defenseless and how it looks like foreign chinese student, but cause their own primitivism to even post it on the internet.

    Chinese netizen reactions? well there is nothing to say about it, primitive as usual.

    Its good that such videos are made public, parents should send their kids to learn some fucking self defense and to built up their confidence.

    On the other side one could say, that this video looks like “welcome to america”. America is the most racist country on the planet, its where even minorities are racist. Blacks do that to white people too, asians are called “yellow niggers”, and every piece of shit minority form their own gangs, fuck even asians from different countries fight each other. While this is a worldwide phenomenon, america brings it to whole new heights, give some human animals too many rights and this is what you get.

    Here in china i saw such things too,someone gets beaten up when he is from another province. In my companies we have frequently fights, mainly canton workers picking at workers from another province. On one occasion a pregnant women worker was beaten by other women again and again at her stomach while laying on the floor. China is chaos but it would be pour chaos without the one party rule. Its hard to support the CCP in any moral way, BUT i do believe that in chinas case IT IS the lesser of the 2 evils, or what you guys would be when china would be a democracy, multi party system, voting, independent news, human rights and so on. Sorry, but what you have right now is the best you should ever get, cause it scares the shit out of me knowing how many of them would behave when they were given more rights then they can handle. The chaos we live in, is still a manageable chaos, democracy would end in a bloodbath.

    ABCs bullying a mainland student, i am not surprised. Mainland bullying other mainlanders, mainly in GD province, looks much nastier, humiliation pure, no limits. Put them into jail, make their pictures public, give them a good old ages public beating (not a bad idea at all). Fight humiliation with humiliation, one will never learn if he don’t experience it on his own soul and body. Someones caught stealing, take away all he has got, if he has nothing then let him do some unpaid forced labour. No death penalty for people which killed others, thats waste in my opinion, let the cocksucker work for the rest of his life, force labour and the benefits of that given to the victims family, so the criminal can serve a purpose, why waste lives, when they can still work ?

    Concentration camps and labour camps are not a bad idea at all !! A couple of months for each of this kids, and the earnings given to the victim should teach them a lesson.

    • rollin wit 9′s

      Your right about the asian guy. In fact if any of these people have asian american friends that are more toward the gangster side of life and dont take sh!t from no one they will no that half of those attackers were asian.
      For one the one that kept yelling the N- word was definitely asian. i can tell by his accent. I got enough azn amer. friends back home to know haha.

  • AnHonestObserver

    It happens. The kid who got beat up should have had a posse of friends to help him since is obviously doesn’t have any fighting skills. This kind of stuff happens in every high school all around the world. There are so many Chinese netizens who are “paper tigers” who try to sound so tough behind a computer screen claiming that they will seek revenge on an American here in China. Mind you nobody, except those in the video, had anything to do with this fight. Chinese netizens, why don’t you do what you do best and look the other way.

    • AnHonestObserver

      *since he obviously

    • Alan Hu

      “This kind of stuff happens in every high school all around the world.” I’d rather believe it’s an exaggeration. Not every high school like this. Chinese netizens of course have the right to deliver their opinion on this fight, like American government always gets involved in other countries’ domestic affairs as the World’s Policeman. We are doing best at least you never heard about severe school violences in China, not mention school gunshots. Believe it or not, America has been out of the track which was originally designed to be the leading country of world for a long long time.

      • Just John

        Please refer to my comment to Elizabeth below, since you and her seem to share the same fairy tale land childhood where kids don’t fight…

      • coala banana

        ”like American government always gets involved in other countries’ domestic affairs as the World’s Policeman.”

        no, a policemen is someone YOU call when you need his help, and after his job is done he leaves again.

        the “american worlds policemen”, comes uninvited ! he in fact created the problem in the first place, then put you under pressure to accept HIS requirements which he know in the first place, you can not fulfill. He controls his media to brainwash his own people into believing it too to back it up. Then he gives you a time limit to accept his demands, which you can not. The time limit passes and then he invades you, so he can solve the problem he created, which he does not of course, cause once he arrives his reason for invading are no longer of importance, cause it turns out he is more interested in placing puppets into positions and stealing the recourses. He stays for some time, and then leaves with an undone job and chaos behind him. Americans welcome their “victorious” soldiers home, call them heroes which defended their rights and freedoms and out of their own ignorance can’t understand why most people on the planet don’t like america, the land of the “free” and home of the “brave”. So they think: Must be cause they all envy the freedoms we have. They hate us cause we have democracy and they don’t ! Another job well done by the american policemen, Hallyburton, Carlyle and Exxon will show their appreciation by donating to campaigns and lobbying corrupt senators and congressmen in the future to get sure the american policemen stays ready for the next time. And there is always a next time….hmmmm, lets see….Iran !!! They want to develop a nuclear weapon ! How dare they ! Iran claims it just has peaceful intentions….liars !!! don’t trust them…Israel is in danger, they want to wipe it out from the map !!! The whole world is in danger….lets make a defense shield all around europe…sanctions !!! lets dry them out economically !! pressure !! Iran starts to think, fuck em, fuck just peaceful intentions, we don’t want to get bullied like all the other countries, lets really make one. Israel has hundreds and no one cares…we want same rights for all ! Israel attacks Iran and the american policemen must help his ally….

      • Josh

        You must have been bless with good schools. I envy you. God knows how many times Ive got into a fight because some idiot throw a racists remark at me. Thats just in england, in malaysia its just gratuitous violence….

        • http://www.wtchina.freeforums.org Elijah

          Ummm…. Are you guys serious??

          I NEVER EVER EVER EVER saw a single fair fight between 2 chinese guys in all the 5.5 years I lived there.

          There is a metric shit-ton of violence in schools in china, but the stats are never published to save face for the schools and promote stability for the local governments. Trust me, if the kids had access to guns, there’d be a school shooting every week in china….

          Seriously, I’ve seen a pushing match between newspaper vendors turn into one of them holding a jagged corner of paving tile and the other with blood pouring down his head and splattering the street.

          I’ve seen a drunk guy in a bar get the shit kicked out of him cause he approached someone’s girlfriend (while drunk mind you) and the boyfriend called everyone in his phone book.

          I’ve seen someone refuse to pay for shitty food and have all the bus-boys and cooks flying out the kitchen with knives and mallets…

          This bullshit that it never happens in china or other Asian countries is ridiculous. Look at this video, 20 (mostly Asians) ganged up on 2 kids, then those 2 kids along with 5 others (again, mostly Asians) ganged up on one of the 20 original gangbangers.

          As a Caucasian, I can tell you that every punch or kick or throw that I’ve given was in one on one fights (I was always the smallest boy in the class before high school so I got picked on a bunch) and I NEVER had to call anyone in to fight for me like a little bitch.

          You can make whatever judgments you like now. (Can’t wait for someone to call me a racist cause I mentioned being Caucasian in a positive way…. )

  • mystery_man

    After watching the videos many times, I’ve come to the conclusion both attackers and victim are guilty. The victim must have done something, he said “I’ll go to jail” and “I know” as he was wiping blood from his chin. Whether this beating was warranted or not, I don’t care since the attackers are typical wannabe gangsta scums.

  • Appalled@everything

    “This isn’t racism! It’s just a bunch of immature foolish kids!”

    I agree with this post. Crime will occur everywhere. Don’t let racism come into what is probably a bunch of young thugs from all different backgrounds singling out and robbing an unfortunate lone kid.

    The stupid thing is that people seem to still want to record their crimes on video. Seems the very definition of dumb.

  • Elizabeth

    What’s really sad about this episode is not racism per se but that it is an indication that humankind as a whole, all around the world, has gone another rung down the pits.

    I don’t think the kids realized the gravity of their actions or words they say. Beating someone up to solve problems has become a norm. That’s all they know, perhaps. Reasoning and communication, achieving goals through ‘legitimate’ means and working for what they want, seem almost alien to many kids nowadays.

    I would venture to say that they have not been taught how to handle conflicts and challenges, not only the poor but especially rich mollycoddled ones who have everything handed to them on a silver platter. They do not have any chance to learn how to take care of themselves, so when things get tough, they use the only weapon they know at their disposal – primitive survival methods – the fist instead of their brains.

    It used to be that the word ‘nigger’ and cheating were frowned upon. Now, these youngsters are using it without even knowing what it means or they are literally colorblind. And why do they even feel it is justified to retaliate when they have been exposed for cheating?

    Two words – parenting and education. These seriously need a worldwide overhaul.

    • Just John

      o, get off it.
      You are honestly claiming there was no fights when you were growing up? If so, then you did not pay any attention to what occurred in your school, because I saw plenty of fights, and was involved in some of them myself.

      And you honestly think social norms have changed so much that “nigger and cheating” is any more acceptable now than previously? You must have lived in a fairy tale land, because when I went to school, while we may not have used nigger, we used plenty of other things that would set our mom to finding the soap to wash your mouth out with.

      Nothing has changed except the fact that now your local fights don’t just have a local audience, they have a worldwide audience and can be immortalized forever in digital on the WWW. Nothing has changed except the curse words that were popular in your youth have been replaced with other substitutes.

      You wonder why youth always says “You just don’t understand”. It is because you always want to paint some fairy tale story about when you grew up, and forget what it was honestly like.

      • Elizabeth

        No, I am not saying there were no fights, but they were not the norm, in fact, I had yet to witness one myself when I was their age.

        Yes, social norms have changed, if not, then it could have been the difference between upbringing and/or the environment – yours and mine – and I am not trying to be patronizing.

        So, do you advocate that we let them be? Do you think we should just accept that things happen, and it would be naive to try to reverse the trend? Or would you acknowledge that there is indeed a pressing situation that needs to be addressed? Do you think revenge is better than forgiveness?

        Right, I can see it coming – that Mother Teresa thing. So, skip that please.

        Education and parenting – either we face the reality that these are desperately in need of attention, or we can keep our heads buried under and pretend that all is well as it was and always had been until it happens in our backyards, one of these days, in a world that is no longer practically safe to live in.

        • Just John

          I never claimed that, I just merely said you were living in fairy tale land, and are apparently blind….

          To be quite honest, I think the internet is having a greater impact than your father taking a belt to your ass for fighting in school, simply because people see it, call them out, and ruin the lives of those who do get caught on the WWW fighting.

          Maybe kids will start thinking “O shit, better not do that, I may end up on YouTube”.
          Who knows, this kind of thing may actually make kids think about the consequences, instead of just acting without forethought, which is what the base problem is caused by.

          • Elizabeth

            I think we are both of the same mind that something is amiss and I can assure you I am not blind or I would not have been able to opine that we have to do something about this.

            We only differ in the way we see things, or rather, how we could approach a problem.

            That aside, lol, I am not sure if being on the internet would be that scary to kids nowadays or Amy Feng and her friends wouldn’t have even taped this beating. But yes, it may work on publicity-shy people like me…I’d take my daddy’s whip anytime ;D

  • Regina

    If what people are saying is true, the Chinese guy getting beat up was part of a gang of 20 fobs that attacked 2 of the ‘thugs’ you see in this video. Basically this beating was revenge. If this is true then he deserves to get beaten to a bloody pulp.

    • Just John

      Yes, because as we know, wrong + wrong = right.

      • Regina

        Of course two wrongs don’t make a right, but what do you expect? If you’re part of a gang that goes around attacking people then this is what you’ll receive in return. It seems all you and other people are focusing on is this beating, but these two gangs have been going against each other for months. The gang of fobs (which the victim in this video is part of) have done just as many attacks. Because of this I don’t feel sorry for anyone, nor do I think the guys in this video should be arrested. You can’t choose sides just based on this video. You need to know the situations and just why it took place.

        Anyway, maybe it’s my vengeful nature, but I believe in an eye for an eye. If you cross me then I’ll cross you 20 times harder. So you’re correct. Wrong + epic wrong = epic right. Or at least it equals justice.

        • angryman

          “The gang of fobs (which the victim in this video is part of) have done just as many attacks. Because of this I don’t feel sorry for anyone, nor do I think the guys in this video should be arrested. You can’t choose sides just based on this video.”

          Quite right, can’t choose sides. Arrest them all.

          “Wrong + epic wrong = epic right. Or at least it equals justice.”

          When you grow up, if you make it to uni, do a deductive logic course then parse that sentence. Until then, you’re a moron.

        • angryman

          Oh, and with doublethink skills like this:

          Wrong + epic wrong = epic right.”

          You’re perfect for the CCP.

    • Judge Jehovah

      The two “thugs” you mentioned been beaten by the victim of 20 thugs, was victim’s cousin.

      • Just John

        Makes it even more ironic, so: wrong + epic wrong (because they can’t even beat the guy they want to) = epic right (did I do that math correctly Regina?)

    EXPLANATION:

    THE CHINESE KID IS PART OF A GANG THAT ATTACKED ONE OF THE KIDS THAT IS DOING THE BEATING IN THIS VIDEO.

    So it’s just an eye for an eye.
    Just a bunch of stupid ass kids beating the shit out of each other. A nice vicious circle.

    So for all you stupid Asian lovers stop saying shit about America. Yes America is fucked up but it’s not as if this stuff doesn’t happen all over the world. Even in China this stupid stuff happens. Or even worse.

      Also it sounds like the people handing out the beating were Chinese or 2nd generation Chinese as well (solely based on their surnames) so yeah, sounds more like I-hit-you-because-you-hit-me mash up from 15 year old wannabe gangsters. Not surprised to see the Chinese sofa nationalist internet brigade up in arms though, who wants to think for a second when you can grab your pitchforks and torches even faster after all?

  • MassiveBender

    These commentators have sunk to a new low by coming out with their qualifications and justifications for the attack, the majority of the western comments are either trying to blame the victim or say how this and worse happens all the time in China. The Chinasmack community used to be moderate and knowledgeable about China but now it’s dominated by naiive, self-righteous, arrogant commie-bashers who appear to live on planet Damian Grammaticus rather than the real world.

    We should be ashamed, when white people come to China they are so graciously welcomed and in return we are incompetent foreign language teachers who lie about our qualifications, we shag all the Chinese girls, we bitch and moan about China and resent the lackadaisical life we lead there. When a Chinese person comes to the West people are at best apathetic towards him and at worst he is shunned by most people and discriminated against as per this video, but still it seems the Westerners come out and try to claim any crime against China or the Chinese is justified.

    It was a gang retaliation of another gang member. That kid being beat up is from another gang that jumped another kid of the bullying gang. The girl that was recording the video and uploaded was to show the other gang the retaliation. No one is innocent in this video.

  • Xiongmao

    This is of course disgusting, not arguing here and I hope they get punished severely. NOW that said, listen to what one of the attackers shouts at one point. It sounds like something to the extent of “So you think you can jump me with 20 guys?” which kind of insinuates that there’s been some fighting prior to this and I’m DESPERATELY trying not to stereotype, but ganging up on someone with all your friends really DOES sound very typically Chinese. NOT THAT it excuses anything but this is probably not some random hate crime against an Asian guy but rather a situation that has been building up over time and the Chinese lad just gets caught without backup at a bad time. Wrong time, wrong place. Just saying.

    But whatever. The average Chinese netizen is pouncing at any opportunity to attack the US, even in a trivial (and nonsense) case, because some of them eat up PLA propaganda about America being a shithole. I’m not going to judge them; I am simply going to pity them for their opinions being too easily molded by the CCP.

      Likewise, I find it retarded that you “conveniently ignore” the fact that most of the Chinese nationals up in arms about some ethnically Chinese guy getting beaten up WEREN’T ACTUALLY AWARE that at least 3 of the assailants were also of Chinese ancestry.

      Just because you know something now doesn’t mean they did then.

      It’s one thing to point out something they didn’t know and correct them. It’s another to accuse them of “intentionally ignoring” something. There is ignorance and then there is malice.

      On YouTube and on Twitter there were the same sort of comments assuming it was white kids beating up an Asian kid. It wasn’t until later that people started coming in and posting that some of the attackers were Asian too. Even then, unless that information was included in the video title or description, comments still poured in thinking it was white on Asian. These people didn’t “conveniently ignore” anything, they just didn’t know based on the information they had seen at the moment of commenting (remember, not everyone seeks out additional information or reads other people’s comments first before commenting, as evidenced here on this site). If you’re going to accuse Chinese nationals of that, you’d have to accuse all the Americans and everyone else who also made that assumption at first of the same thing.

      And really now, by most accounts, the average Chinese netizen looks quite admiringly at the US. I think you’re giving too much weight to the fenqing and wumao. The latter are certainly vocal but so are white supremists and yet we don’t think they represent the average white person. Keep your perspective.

      True words. Chinese all learned English racial epithet from an early age. Why? In order to not get left behind in the world-wide rat race / pecking order of the racial hierarchy.

    Typical Chinese reaction. There exists the greatest “US vs THEM” attitude here.

    First and foremost, unless I am mistaken, the boys ethnicity has still yet to be disclosed. Just because they asked “Am I speaking Chinese” does not mean HE was Chinese, just as much as them calling him a “ni-ger” makes him black.

    This is just common with Chinese… viewing this as almost an attack on the nation itself.

    Even the police have said that the beating was not racially motivated, yet you get this reaction from the Chinese… which is extremely hypocritical for the nation.

    If you ever want to see racism in its truest form, just spend some REAL time in China (not the week or two vacation while they seemingly treat you like a rock star).

      Some of you guys need to really think before making faulty assumptions.

      It wasn’t represented much in the translated comments above but there were a lot of comments on Sina Weibo asking if he was Chinese or what. There were also a lot of comments saying he was Chinese because he can be heard speaking Cantonese several times in the video.

      There’s also little evidence from the thousands of Chinese comments to suggest any meaningful amount of them see this as an attack on their nation. They at most saw it as white racism against Chinese and Asians, and it was because they didn’t yet know that some of the masked attackers were ethnically Chinese. The posted video didn’t provide that information and the only attacker whose face was revealed was a white kid.

      Do you see any evidence to suggest that these Chinese netizens were aware or have read what the Chicago police have said when they made their comments? Why do you assume they know and have read what you have? In English no less?

      Racism is terrible and there’s definitely a lot of racial discrimination in China, but comments like “typical Chinese”, ” there exists the greatest ‘us vs them’ attitude here”, “this is just common with Chinese”, “extremely hypocritical for the nation”, can be interpreted as quite racist in of itself. Any time you rush to negatively generalize a people, that’s bigotry, and that’s characterizes much of your comment.

      Wait, are you the Stormfront Kyle? I remember there was a commenter named Kyle who was from Stormfront posting on this site before.

      Chinese are just naive, not really maliciously racist. They really don’t have much experience in the world as a whole, and as soon as they really do, most wise up right away.

      I see it especially in the Japan haters. They hate Japan from the bottom of their heart, then they visit Japan for a month, come back to China, and tell everyone how Japan is awesome. All their friends call them traitors, but, hey, they’ve seen something they like better and it takes over as their dream.
