ESF KITCHEE Hong kong Football Match Sparks White Chinese Racism Row

The 10 year old Caucasian boy (#2) arrested on suspicion of assault causing actual bodily harm after violently kicking a Chinese opponent in the head during an under 12's school football match between ESF Lions and Kitchee Escola has been bailed.

The video generated a torrent of 'racist' commentary.

"These are English Men... Shame of mankind!" wrote one viewer on the YouTube website. Others called the coach and mainly Caucasian players for the English Schools Foundation (ESF) team "animals" and "white scum", and demanded the government stop subsidising the English-language school system. "The Hong Kong government should cancel its funding of the ESF. Gweilos should leave Hong Kong immediately," said one user.

BBCZEITGEIST COMMENTARY: Reading western press articles, white journalists considered the term gweilo to be racially offensive by playing the race card. Its an attempt to negate the damage inflicted onto the Chinese boy by turning the issue into a race row, i.e the white boy is victimised because of his Caucasian ethnicity! I have not seen evidence of an actual racism beyond Youtube commenting. Incidently, there are also comments calling Chinese 'chinks,' but the western press conveniently forget to mention that.

  1. Wait - this is in Hong Kong? Without reading the article properly I skipped straight to the video and the bit where the white kid kicked the hk boy in the head, I thought this wouldve been in the UK.

    first thoughts are that HK are too accepting of whites. Football as well being a white sport. Watching the video- white coach, white privilege stamped all over it.

    I dont know too much about HK football coaching but what I can imagine is that if too many foreigners ( gweilo) are relied on for importing their skills eg sports training and not enough HK'ers or Chinese develop their own skill, this can also create a white privilege default atmosphere, which seems to be the case here.

    Making anti-white slurs against that white kid who kicked the hk boy in the head isnt enough. That white kid needs a good kick in the head in return and the whites involved including the coach to be sent back to England. After all these years look what colonialism brought Hong Kong. After all the security and wealth that Chinese have. Incredible. Chinese the world over should really start to make it known that we dont take shit from white imperialism. Unless we are more aggressive verbally,and physically, itll go on.

    2. Thanks, I wanted to be a more active contributor to the issues that affect BBCs, thats why i bothered registering for a google ID in the first place. How about yourself?

  2. I’m really surprised that the Chinese boy’s team did nothing when their teammates were fouled repeatedly. As a team, they must support and protect each other. Kick back.

  3. i saw a white kid in the hong kong kitchee team and many chinese kids in the western english schools foundation team.

  4. its not an all white football team, most of the kids in the esf team were local Hong Kong chinese. I think the league was set up the Chelsea FC. It shows that Hong Kong Chinese still love to western worship English education and English Premiership league football, not forgetting Christianity as a religion too.

    Im assuming some of comments on here are HK'ers and probably around the age of the players of the school team so I'll guess your not around the age of intellectual debate yet.

    Like i said before long as HK kids play football, they should use professionally trained HK Chinese coaches.

    Im tempted to say HK children are spoilt little brats with rich parents who want an all white coach to make them genius football players but that would be rude of me, and judgemental.

    That you choose to turn this debate into blaming China instead of defending your own team player is shameful.

    But maybe this incident is a subtle way of telling us that HK belongs to China because when you run to the British guess what - you get kicked in the head!

  6. I do not think this was racially motivated at all. There were Chinese and UK kids on both teams. I even saw a Chinese kid on the losing team doing some dirty play. This is simply a case of a sore losing team playing dirty. I'm Chinese btw.

      If youre such a whitewashed Chinese maybe Itd be considered kicking some sense into you

  8. kids are kids whatever colour.....seems that its the adults turning this into a race thing....which is blowing the whole thing out of perspective. HK is only HK because of the hard work co-operation from many different races....not only white or yellow....but many shades of brown also....thats why HK succeeded where many have failed.....and what makes the place so special....even now.....is its ethnic diversities and rule of law. Unfortunately the rule of law broke down on the football pitch but hey.....they are kids afterall....need to be disciplined obviously but by coach, parents & school....not the police.....thats getting too emotional about it....and so is making it a race issue......too emotional.....and thats the parents who have caused that problem.....not the kids.

    1. Nice multicultural whitewashed argument. Punishment should be dealt with there and then.
      thats the problem with you sellouts. too much white privelege has gone to your head, that when a hk child gets kicked in the head by a white kid that was a culmination of other earlier events, you dismiss is 'kids being kids'

      Noone will discipline those kids because white privilege rules the pitch. Youre just too dumb to see it. White washed parents, white coaches, white abusive kids, and abusive white privilege. Everyone is at fault for endorsing white privilege.

      'Racism?!! Only if YOU think it is!'

  9. "No-one will discipline those kids"? He's been arrested, you doughnut. It never ceases to amaze me that you continually call white people "racist", when you're on par with the BNP when it comes to racial stereotyping and hatred. You're a disgusting individual. At least Zeity's slightly more nuanced, although it really is relative.

    1. If you only want to defend white people, why not go to stormfront? Or gardening weekly. More your bourgoisis cup of tea by the sounds of it. And you will be amongst the right race. Your projected bitterness here just seems out of place. Why burst a hernia on a bbc blog if our opinions bother you so much? Kind of pointless.

    2. Exactly, it would seem the only person that is on a par with the BNP is our anonymous troll! Especially since they share the same agenda as the BNP- which is to defend whites. They've been trolling this blog for months with their there-is-no-such-thing-as-white-racism-against-chinese comments.

  15. "Your projected bitterness here just seems out of place. " - That, my friend, is priceless. Not only did you attempt to avoid the point that I was making about the white child being disciplined, but you're claiming that I'm the embittered one. I actually laughed when I read that; you really are a phenomenally stupid human being, and a singularly worthless one.

    1. Oh bourgoisis gardening weekly is back! You are indeed entitled to your opinion oh embittered one but this being this a BBC blog as long as you behave like the white-worshipping sellout,assuming you are BBC) then we are free to ignore any points you make!

      Keep it coming, troll, who knows your BS comments may even get deleted again and again.

  16. And dont call me friend, even sarcastically. I dont associate with self-hating Chinese sellouts/hapas especially those with a baseless argument except to resort to pompous intellectual put downs. Try it one more time and if BBCz even allows your next baseless self-aggrandising comment to be published, I will verbally destroy you piece by piece.

    1. Finally,Some possible evidence indicating that the little white kicking hooligan was trained by a bigger white hooligan.

      Even before we question how a hooligan got a job as a professional football coach for a HK school, lets look above and how many comments above from whitewashed HK'ers and BBCs say the HK kid getting kicked in the head wasnt a racist act.

      Altogether now:

      'Racist? Only if YOU think it is!'

  20. I think HK faces an identity crisis. It is a shame, that most politicians or businessmen don't give a fukk about the social isolation which HK faces - post Brit colonialism and now Mainland abuse. All about making $$ and doing back door deals for a hefty retirement package. This is why the general populace are so sheepish - zero pride, self-defense or kinship.
