Staring, Pulling Eyes, and Snickering... Outrage Sparked Over Racist Behavior

A woman who claims she was subjected to anti-Asian racism at a restaurant in Portugal has released a video of the incident.

A woman has posted footage online claiming she experienced racially discriminatory behavior, such as mocking gestures stretching the eyes, at a restaurant in Portugal.

The video shows a person identified as Person A confronting a group of people sitting at the restaurant in English, demanding, "Do that Chinese and Korean racism again."

Person A claimed that these individuals looked at her, pulled their eyes sideways to mock Asians, and laughed while mentioning Chinese, Koreans, and Japanese.

Even while Person A was protesting, the individuals continued to smile and laugh.

Person A stated that at first, one restaurant employee even took the side of the perpetrators, but grew quiet after another staff member intervened and said they also witnessed the behavior.

She also reported that when pointed out for their racist behavior, the other party excused themselves by making a ridiculous claim that they did so because her skin was nice.

As this story spread, internet users expressed fury, commenting that it is a clear insult to the victim and that seeing them laugh so casually makes it even more infuriating.
