Racial Abuse in Kenya: A Chinese man has been caught on camera hurling racial slurs at Kenyans and President Uhuru. The man, who apparently sells bikes in Kenya, was caught on video sending the insults to one of his employees.
A secret video recording of the man, who was talking to an employee of a motorcycle company, was shared by blogger Robert Alai.
Kenyans on social media reacted angrily while tagging Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiangi and President Uhuru Kenyatta with demands that the foreigner be arrested and deported.
The Chinese in the video starts by saying that he was angry at the employee because he is a Kenyan.
The Chinese man then justifies his anger at the employee by saying that every Kenyan – without exception – is a monkey and challenges the employee to go court since he has no evidence of his abusive utterances.
At this point the employee says: “I think you should go back to China. You see even if you don’t fire me I will not work here forever but whatever you are doing is extremely wrong.
To this the Chinese retorts, “I don’t care, I don’t like you like monkey people, smell bad and foolish and black… I don’t like them.”
Employee: Then why are you coming to do business if we are poor, we are black?
Chinese: For money.
Employee: For money? Why is that you need our money?
Chinese: Money is important.
The argument between the two goes on as the employee tries to put the Chinese man to task for his racist comments.
