A dubbed over video from a Twitter account with a past history of tweeting racist vile ridicules the accents of Asians while repeatedly uttering the “N” word.
The video has been called out by @racismwatchdog, @AsianSocialNetwork and several others on what some have dubbed #AsianTwitter, a loose collaboration of Asian Americans on social media.
The original video published just a month ago is a compilation reel posted on You Tube from a World Taekwondo Festival held on Jeju Island in South Korea.
The video sent out by @TheMartinShow makes use of a narrator who mocks an Asian accent and makes heavy use of the “N” word.
