A group of adolescents report the racist attack on the beach of Plentzia (Bizkaia). According to the note in the Fedibertso (first part of the thread, second part, third part), two Asian people have been attacked when leaving the beach. They denounce that they have had to listen to comments such as “nin nian”, “nihao” and “chiang”, in order to “pursue and provoke him”.

Seeing a person of Asian origin, the aggressor has denounced that it is racism to make sounds similar to Chinese and to cast mandarinous words randomly and scream, and added that “I have become the target of sirens by my appearance.”

Aggression and resistance

He stressed that the word " nihao " has become a " weapon " , as it is often heard to belittle it from the mouth of young generations. In addition, those who do believe that it is not racism, says the adolescent and that they do not have the will to ask for forgiveness. Indeed, he has denounced that seeing the attacks and not responding is “unacceptable”.
