Video LINK of Incident :
quote:
American basketball player Sonny Weems has been subjected to racial abuse from fans while playing in China.
In a video circulating on social media, fans can be heard repeatedly shouting the "N" word and "get out of China" at 35-year-old Weems, who plays for the Guangdong Southern Tigers in the Chinese Basketball Association.
The incident happened after the Southern Tigers' game against the Liaoning Flying Leopards last Thursday.
During the game, a fight broke out between Weems and Chinese player Han Dejun which resulted in both players being ejected.
In the video, Weems is seen exiting the team bus along with the rest of the team when a crowd of fans can be heard yelling the racist slurs. Weems appears to ignore the crowd.
In a statement on Friday, the CBA said it has a "zero-tolerance attitude toward any discriminatory words or deeds," and in an open letter to fans asked them not to engage in "uncivilized behavior" and "vulgar words."
"Whether on or off the field, fans should watch the game in a civilized manner, respect each other, do not do anything that damages the reputation of the team," reads the letter.
Both teams also condemned the behavior of the fans with the Flying Leopards saying the words seriously hurt the Guangdong team and damage the image of the league and fans.
"Respect for the opponent is a basic quality that every player should have, and it is also a basic requirement for a qualified fan," reads the team's statement.
CNN has reached out to Weems but did not immediately receive a response. He also hasn't publicly commented about the abuse on his Twitter or Instagram accounts, but did post emojis of hearts in a rainbow of different colors on Weibo.

I have a hard time caring about how other countries act and their culture
What bothers me is how stuff like this happens in China and all the examples in Europe yet people act like the US is the most racist country to ever exist.

zero-tolerance attitude
Zero-tolerance in China leads to torture and disappearances.
This shite is encouraged by the government's Han superiority complex.

This is going to be tough on the liberals, media and #stopasianhate crowd
probably turn it around and say they only act and say these things due to stereotypes and fake news from right wing white supremacists
