Video blogger faces wrath after blasting HK
Public outcry continues in the wake of a video in which an Asian-American internet celebrity made derogatory remarks about China and Chinese people, with netizens denouncing it as "unbelievably disrespectful", "annoying" and "seriously mean and impolite".
The six-minute video, shot in Hong Kong and published two weeks ago on YouTube, showed Bryan Le, who posts under the account name RiceGum, mocking Hong Kong people for not speaking English, asking pedestrians where people can eat cats and dogs and using derogatory words when referring to women.
After the video was uploaded, a wave of comments from offended netizens - around 46,300 - followed. They included such sentiments as "Worst video I have ever seen", "You just revealed your ignorance" and "That's so disrespectful. Just stop it".
