  • A nail-biting victory in the men's foil final in favour of Hong Kong over Italy in the Paris Olympics 2024 has sparked controversy. The final point was awarded only after referees replayed footage on three occasions, leaving many Italians unhappy. The dram also spilt into the culinary realm, with a pizza chain in Hong Kong offering pineapple toppings for free. Pizza is a sacred culinary art for many Italians, and putting pineapple on it is nothing short of sacrilege.

    Background: Italian gave a grave accusation without any evidence to support it. It sounds like they are racist to Asians and not willing to admit Cheung is the better player that day. Worse still, Italians defamating Cheung as a Theft. Haha talking about theft, can someone tell me where are the Mafia hiding? Anyway. Let's talk back about the referees. Malaysia, the United States, and many countries in the world have a large group of Chinese/ Asian communities, so they are not eligible to be referees either. However, they're renowned for their reputation, just solely for their race? Why doesn't Italy speak for their opponent in the quarterfinal when the referee comes from Slovenia? Because Italy won! Italy and Slovenia are not neighbours? The funny thing is that the Host, France, is also a neighbour of Italy. However, no Hong Kong people would criticise of the professionalism of the referees and the Olympics like that.

      Honestly you need to go on a holiday,calling Italians racist? Look in your own backyard ,I live in Australia why don't you come here for a holiday ,and I will show all the asian shops only employing asians,will only speak in their own language, creating ghettos in many suburbs displacing the europeans and only selling asian food ,try buying non asian food ,forcing their culture on us non asians,I would consider that racist ,wouldn't you? Hypocrisy is in the eye of the beholder my friend so don't insult the country that gave us our western values and culture by ridiculing them , racism exists in every culture and yours is not immune to it

      Funny there is no dish made in india as Curry, it's half learned western invention so keep unknown curry to yourselves.
      In South india Kari means meat or charcoal or a karivepillai (leaf) that has flavor but no spicy at all.
      So western Kari invention has nothing to do with India!
      Someone in western learnt something wrongly!
