BBC Africa Eye has released a video depicting the extent of some Chinese nationals’ disdain for Africans. In the video taken in Malawi, an adult Chinese man instructs innocent kids to recite racist slur - insulting themselves - in the Chinese language. The videos are then sold in China.
Closer home, a Chinese restaurant in Nairobi raised hackles in 2015 after it barred black people from accessing its premises. The resultant public uproar led to the closure of the restaurant. In 2018, a Nakuru-based Chinese businessman had the temerity to hurl racist slur at President Uhuru Kenyatta.
