I was born in LA to Japanese and Korean parents, was raised in Brazil and Argentina due to my dad being in the military. Not once have I faced racism in the States but man I was bullied and suffered discrimination in Brazil and Argentina. Maybe I'll get hate for saying this but based on my personal experience, people from 3rd world countries tend to be more racist perhaps due to its citizens ignorance, even more abused came from blacks and brown people. Just sharing my experiences not trying to make things even more heated.
This is clear, but anyone who mentions it is demonised.
Yeah you’ve got a point and I can’t argue against your experience, but saying it’s down to being “third world” or ignorant/poor education is just as degrading as Bentancur’s comment and seems to be the overwhelming retort by Koreans online.
South Korea and Japan are “first world” countries but their societies are arguably “less developed” than some third world countries’ due to their specific homogenous and Confucian foundations.
Racism can have many origins
Surely calling a whole culture ignorant is more insulting than saying they look the same.
Also Asian racism towards black/brown people is well documented.
@@richardedwards141 If you never faced racism keep ur mouth closed, if you did however, I'm just telling it like it is, facts, spent over 2 decades in S.A, and prejudice, racism against minorities there is well documented too. and you comparing Asian racism against black/brown is a joke. You don't see on the news Asians killing, raping or beating up a colored person do you? Well it happens quite often all around western countries against Asian, so your comparison is nothing but slap in the face against Asians.
@@richardedwards141 Again, this is based on my personal experiences, and the more a culture is educated the less racism exist. So for you calling me out for calling Brazil and Argentina 3rd world is foolish....but they re aren't they? 3rd world?
You don’t have to be Asian to have this issue resonate with you - you simply have to be human. Bentancur absolutely needs to formally apologize to our Asian fanbase for his ignorant comment - it should be viewed as unacceptable if he doesn’t. As a female , if one of our players made a misogynistic “joke” about a staff member or player, I would also expect an apology as a female supporter of the club. It doesn’t take a degree in rocket science to see the absolute necessity of that - all you need to be is a decent, empathetic human being
What did bentancur say? Quote his words..please don't paraphrase... His actual words..about the strips looking the same. Remember he didn't say it in English, so get a good translator
@@julesbrunton1728 you can easily find this information yourself which is plastered all over the internet. I already did my research, you are free to do yours. I ain’t your secretary
Sonny as classy as ever. Extremely disappointing from Bentancur. He may have meant it as a joke, but perception is reality.
"extremely disappointing from Bentancur" how about you stop idolizing players and go outside and smell the roses
@@neomonkeyking It was a mistake by Bentancur that I'm sure he regrets, and your comment makes you look like a racist.
@@neomonkeykinghow about you stop replying to multiple strangers online telling them to go outside
Grow up ffs 😂
The thing is this wasn't just between Son and Bentancur. Bentancur insulted like billions of people, not just Son and the Koreans, but also other Asians as well.
man stfu it was just a joke. get off the internet and go outside for a change
it's most offensive for Koreans because in the Western world, Asian often equals Chinese.
Why? He only said sonny and his look alike and didnt say all asians etc. Hes still bang out of order nonetheless

That fact that Bentancur only apologized to Son signals to the Asian community that he doesn't really understand the gravity of what he said. He only tried to amend his personal relationship with Son. Club using Son's response to dust this under the rug is not going to sit well. If Bentancur does not want to take further steps toward reconcilliation with larger Asian community then he probably needs to come up with a phantom injury and stay behind for Japan/Korea preseason tour. He's definitely not going to get a nice welcome.
Idk man if a Korean player said all white people look the same (which seems to be 80% of Korean replies to this incident) I wouldn't expect an apology in the mail.
@@richardedwards141it literally wouldnt bother me at all 😂
@@richardedwards141 white and black folks constantly say that Asians look alike with no pushback
@@kevinb8755 Never said they didn't tbf. Let's try to keep it specific to this incident at least
@@richardedwards141 it is related to this incident?
Wouldn’t mind if we sold bentancur
I would bro have u seen him before his injury single handled carried us scored 5 goals in one month as a defensive mid where were u
Thats a really amazing response from Son. Benty was very wrong and im sure knows it... But Son is 100% right the comment was made, the apology given in sincerity and the apology accepted gracefully as ever by Son. It wasnt nice it really was awful, but lets hope Bentacur has learned a lesson from this - that would be the greatest outcome - Racism is wrong whether as a joke made or comment made.
Lolo needs to issue an apology to all Asians and he needs to do it soon as we're heading to Korea soon and we don't want any sort of negativity around our trip there
Kick Bentancur out!!!!
5:15 also Tom Lockyer in the PL season just finished..
People getting offended so easily by someone’s (admittedly silly) banter, grow up and get some thicker skin 🤐
You’re def the type to get offended if something hits too close to home
what do you think is the reason some people get offended so easily? Racism and discrimination have been there for so many centuries. There weren't many victims who could raise their voices about the issues Now especially older generations who used to discriminate against other races are complaining that new generations are crystal weak so they can't even make jokes that they used to do. But, this is not true at all, but truth is the victims in the older generations did not have many ways to express and speak publically, or even if they did, the majority of media did not take it seriously and filtered it out so that most people could not hear and recognise the racisms as much as we can do now. This is the worst legacy of the older racist generations!!!!!
@@kevinb8755like what Kev?
@@N17Stu you’re telling me that he won’t get offended by anything that he deems as personal?
Bentancur will have issue when he visit Korea for sure.
Koreans fans can't wait for him to visit Korea. We are ready to welcome him really aggressively 😊
@@user-dl8mo3pk8y I can already see Levy cooking up a hanbok Gyeongbokgung public shaming and apology lol
Why what will those welcoming and lovely people do?
It’s one thing if he was as a person rasist and tried to purposely attacked and hurt them however he tried to made a joke which was rasist and a stupid thing to say.
Hope Nabil recovers soon. How many heart attacks does it take to realise that this is NOT normal. So many in the last few years! Join the dots please? It's not difficult!
The percentage of heartattacks compared to the amount of every single proffessional football players in multiple legues within multiple countries is miniscule.
Yep Covid jabs! Exactly why I never did and never will go near them
Exactly, it's probably long Covid complications
Remember to get your bird flu shot later this year too.
i bet Sonny is fuming with him, get rid of this Bentancur. i hope he gets booed at all premier league grounds this season especially from the Asian fan base😡😡😡😡😡
ARDA loan this season with or without an option to buy would be great business if Donley and Devine are to be loaned out again
This situation is stupid asf bentancur said a shit thing it happens apologised. End of this doesnrt need to be a reoccuing theme throughout this season my god
This was not only a mistake to make to Sony, but it was also a remark that made fun of the Asian race as a whole.
Bentancur must formally apologize to the Asian community.
Cry
yes please shut up. the Asian community doesn't care
Hot take: People have become way more sensitive.
Good, imo.
We once fully accepted, or at least profited from, slavery and segregation. It's about time we as a society we were sensitive towards the needs of non-hegemonic racial groups.
I'm happy to play it safe (and therefore maybe be a little over-sensitive) if it means we can get as far away from racism and white-supremacy as possible.
So you promote being racist?
That was also a ridiculously racist comment
Hot take: Its good people are more sensitive about racism nowadays. It means we might actually stop most of it.
That's quite possibly the dumbest thing I've read
What did he say?
(Bentancur was asked on Uruguayan TV for a Spurs player's shirt, to which he replied: "Sonny's? It could be Sonny's cousin too, as they all look the same.")
Let’s not be too dramatic here, I’ve said this in Thailand when I’m meeting a date, I say it’s better if you approach me cuz you all have dark hair, dark eyes and beautiful and it’s never been a problem in fact they actually find it amusing. Asian people are very friendly and understandable about things like this it’s the west who like to make things so dramatic.
The endless commentary on the off color joke is ridiculous. Tottenham, you guys, the fans more broadly are starting to really turn me off as a subscriber. It was a joke, maybe not a good one, frankly it's an old joke. The apology tour never matters.
Ya'll so thin-skinned.
Bentancur probably forgot that the cameras were rolling and blurted out what he and Sonny say behind the scenes. Racist banter is common among closest of friends. Nonetheless Bentancur dropped the ball on this one.
Anyone who says bentancur owes all Asians an apology are being racist themselves as it implies all Asiains lookalike and theres multiple ethnic groups in Asia, like the Indians, Pakistani and Bengali. Theyre Asian too are they not?? Saying two cousins lookalike (and some cousins do regardless of their race or ethnicity) doesnt mean that every Asian looks the same. people need to stop being a victim when theyre not one.
Next SpursOfficial team content video should be "Guess the Nationality"
Shows a player joining Swansea that looks like him lol
The way Bentancur has been handling the issue only shows how he thinks of Asian communities. Ignorance. He doesn't even want to talk about it to the community because it's just irritating to him. He only talked to Sonny because he's the captain and close to each other. That's it. He only has it. He has no ability to see how it would affect his branding, the Spurs and even more At least economically Asia market is already huge and getting bigger but it will be destroyed little by little. He needs to grow up. Or he will eventually go back to his local communities who hug him no matter what. He's just running out of time.
I think you're ignorant for not being able to take a joke. Lighten up
Go win trophies
Do ya copy and paste this comment gamera??

Was it wrong and deserve a apology?? Yes.... Ok done, move on
COYS
How can you bring your own religion into the mix?
Here is my controversial opinion that nobody asked for. Bentancur will be sold or loaned after this season. Ange has a long history of supporting Asian players and he doesn’t tolerate this sort of stuff at all. He will definitely brush it off to the press but internally he will be seething. Bentancur had a very underwhelming return from injury under the big Australian last season. Yes, it was well publicized that he wouldn’t be back to his best until this season but now he has an even bigger hill to climb to win over Ange. And more importantly, gain his trust. I see Bentancur as being one of the surprise casualties of the Postecoglou era.
Not surprising at all. We have too many players doing pretty much the same thing in the midfield. Bergvall is coming through as well. Surely one of Bentancur or Bissouma would have to go next summer.
Ange is more pragmatic and no nonsense than that. He’s more likely to give Bentancur a smack over the head and get on with things
To be honest would not even be a loss... He's never recovered his level after the injury.
The Tottenham midfielder was asked by a presenter for a Tottenham shirt and replied: “Sonny's? It could be Sonny's cousin too as they all look the same.”6 hours ago
Dude I'm chinese indonesian, and i cant differentiate who is who among koreans, especially those kpop idols all look the same to me
I thought he was only saying that sonny and his cousin lookalike (which some do regardless of race). But it seems im wrong and he meant everyone thats asian even though theres loads of different ethnic countries!
Usually agree with most the things you say but wish you wouldn’t promote cry baby shit.
Can we please get back to talking about football? The poor dude has acknowledged his mistake, apologised to Sonny and considering the online response is probably very aware of the negative effect of his "joke".
But considering the revenue the Korean fanbase brings in I'm half expecting Spurs' trip to Korea to be the "Bentancur Reconciliation Tour".
Another jab injury
Nothing to see here
Perfect. Keep 'em coming.
I don't care about Bentaleb, are people not forgetting he wouldn't support homophobia in football, he's Muslim that's why.
Its not all about you ya know
I thought that community was all loving?? Not even if someone is at risk of dying?? Wow!
@@indianastones6032 it's karma
Yawn yawn ywan
Imagine Sonny or whoever said “Uruguayans all look alike with South Americans like Paraguayans or Argentinians.” in tv show.
In Spain they call them "sudacas" imagine Sonny calling them like that "as a joke", I bet nobody would be laughing there after that...
Tbf that's what many Koreans say anyway. Just check the responses online.
Sidenote: South American nations are immigrant nations and ethnically diverse so not comparable to Korean/Japanese etc.
You do realise Asians are racist towards Europeans and Africans all the time …. They don’t see it as a problem when they do it
That’s funny because native Europeans and native Africans are openly attacked and mocked by racist Asians..
@@4ce5bf154funny because Asians laugh about being racist to white and black people all the time so you’re a hypocrite
Shame on you Spurs for hiding behind Sonny to handle this mess. The outright racism from Bentancur and the management's refusal to properly address this is disgusting and disrespectful. You'll be seeing this reflected in your numbers, Levy. "It wasn't intentional" has rarely cut it. This is doubly offensive for Koreans especially because they so often bear the brunt of the massive racism Westerners have against Chinese people.
Why? It happened outside the club. If the club has to say something, what about his sponsors? His agent? Do they need to get involved and address the asian community too? Or how about his national team get involved too? Cus he was away with the nstional team. Do ya want the head coach to say something too?

your soft asf
You’re so hypocritical!!! Asians are by far waaaaay more racist than Europeans…. You’ve clearly never been to Asian countries. I’ve been to Asian countries as a white person and they mocked by ginger Celtic beard and pointed fingers at me and laughed….. and no Asians told off other Asians ever for being racist t
You mean like how Asians grab and touch westerners hair and point at the colour of our skin when we’re in Asian countries? Funny that doesn’t happen on Asians here…. Seems like the west is far less racist than the east
Sony is just class ❤ still not good from benny we have East Asian spurs family we are in it together ❤
Bentancur really fucked up with this one. For everyone who saying it’s just a joke, remember not everyone has a decent sense of humor.
yeah its subjective feeling vs subjecting feeling. please get off the internet and go outside
@@neomonkeyking lol I am outside, maybe I have a better understanding about PR than most people taking this lightly. Bentancur has a lot of South Koreans who hate him for his comments and that’s a fact, no subjectivity at all.
So u say it was a joke and the people who it was aimed at should develop a sense of humoue?
Well that’s on them.
@@jurgencuypers8350 no I’m saying it was a joke and these people don’t find it funny, they actually see it as insulting
This is our club captain we are talking about. Racism aside, this is embarrassing on a football level as well
If he publicly said something like that on a interview, unconsciously thinking it was not a "big deal", imagine what he really must think about other stuff more deeply...
Bro I say that to lots of types of people. It came across rasist but he didn’t mean it maliciously
Tbh he has disgraced his own creed and people.
Considering what he said I think it's important to not respond with another "creed" comment. He disgraced himself.
@@richardedwards141 Thanks for the lecture but is that a negative word?
@@3000FAst Seems like you're in need of it
@@richardedwards141 you didn't answer my question TA.
FFS it was an obvious joke. Jeeez
It doesn’t matter. We live in a PC time so if you have a large following you need to be more mindful than the average person
Arent you the guys getting all mad about it?
We're just happy he apologised and hope it doesn't happen again so everyone can move on.
Only people that i see complaining are twittr racists, who are just mad that he got criticised at all for his joke.
It was an unnecessary and racist comment
Hey ahole, I'm Asian and didn't find it funny. Yes it was a joke but it's pretty clear by now this day and age making childish jokes about someone's race or appearance is not funny at all, agree?
You def don’t see the bigger picture
Hey can someone tell me whT lolo said please..
The thing is that it is easier for people to distinguish members of their own ethnic profile... it's natural. I know that Asian people say the same about white folks. Was it a poorly calculated comment under the circstances, yes. But was it racist, I think not. There is a huge difference between distinguishing between race, and pointing it out versus using it to degrade and marginalize others. I believe Lolo's comments had no intent of illwill nor superiority, rather were based in lighthearted jest. Anyone who tries to spin it another way, IMHO, is trying to sell you something.
It's easy to say that when you are not the one taking the hit, generalizing like saying "All asian look the same or yellow" "Jews are all cheapstake" "arabs smell all bad" coming from a "white dude" it's not funny or natural and you will never see Sonny saying something like that about white folks on an interview, simply cause he's respecful and was raised properly.
It was pretty obvious it was just a joke, I'm Uruguayan myself and we make "racist" jokes all the time, and believe me, it's quite obvious when it's a joke and when it's not, get a basic sense of humor. We are becoming way too sensitive, it wasn't even an insult, he never said Asians are ugly or something derogatory as you say he did, what's so bad about looking similar to each other? And if it's not true, then all the more reason not to give a sh.t
What does it feel like exposing your own ignorance?
Please talk football, because that remark has been blown out of all proportion,
totally agree. kids on the internet these days especially in woke UK
😂😂😂😂😂 ahhh great an anti woke warrior!!! Thank you kind sir for fighting the tyranny of the left you gurt plonker ❤❤
Said by a white guy 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Not blown out of proportion, the apology should have been more heartfelt
Wow,cmon get over it. Was he lying about anything?
