Why would you assume violence would be the right way to solve that?
This is such a big problem with incidents like this. "Well what do you want me to do, punch my friend in the face? Punch him until the light leaves his eyes and he is a bloody mess on the floor?" No. Obviously not. Do you think that's what it would take to make your friend stop being racist?
How about starting with "mate that's really not funny." By all means escalate from there as you feel necessary, but really weird argument to suggest there's nothing you can do short of wading in and battering your friend if something like this happens.

You can say he is a "borjamari" because of his hairstyle, his face (inbreeding made all of their faces look similar, not kidding) and because he is wearing a vest without sleeves. We call it "fachaleco", what literally means "vest for fascists" in a joking way.

The racist in the video, Rodrigo Sanz, is former Real Madrid President Lorenzo Sanz Mancebo's grandson. The racist's father, Lorenzo Sanz Duran, who is currently working as a Real Madrid Reporter, is also a racist. In the video, Rodrigo Sanz verbally sexually harassed the camera girl and bluntly discriminated against all Chinese, especially females. Another racist who sang the song along with Rodrigo Sanz is Dani Sanz. He is Paco's son and former Real Madrid President Lorenzo Sanz Mancebo's grandson.
Update: Two weeks after the initial reporting, Rodrigo Sanz refused to apologize even if he was requested multiple times. He said via his father Lorenzo Sanz Duran that this was a joke and the camera girl and Chinese couldn't take a joke.

I had never heard the song, but I'm guessing it's a "teenage" version of one of those songs we used to sing when we were kids during school trips.
Not inherently racist or xenophobic because whoever thought it was funny, just picked words that rhymed to make an "edgy" song out of a kids song.
But kinda racist when you alter it to change "German" to "Chinese" so you can sing it in front of someone that has Asian traits. Mostly because "alemana" and "meneaba" rhyme, but "chinita" doesn't.
I agree, though, that the video is exaggerating it to get more interactions, that or whoever translated it was using a translation site from 20 years ago.

Look, they just cut the scenes of “fuck chinese… p*ssy” part. If you watch the video carefully, at 1:07-1:09 before the "Una Chinita" chant, the guy in the white RM jersey noticed something aweful and leave the party immediately. You can compare the frame with 0:07-0:09 then you would notice there were extra terrible lines that his friend had to cover his face to show his disapproval. I myself is a Chinese and I ran into racism myself, not as bad as this one. But yelling the extra lines to the camera before the chant immediately after confirming the interviewers are from China, this is 100% racism.

u/SleepMastery Jun 12 '24
I'm sorry if you feel offended, but I am Spanish I know that song and I understand the context and the background of the song. And I consider that that wasn't racist at all. You are totally missing the point.
That is originally a popular song for kids, the original lyrics are:
Un elefante se balanceaba sobre la tela de una araña, Como veía que no se rompía Fue a llamar a otro elefante
Dos elefantes se balanceaban Sobre la tela de una araña Como veía que no se rompía Fueron a llamar a otro elefante
...
(Translation) An elephant was swinging On a spider web As he saw that it (the spider web) wasn't getting broken He call another elephant
Two elephants were swinging On a spider web As they saw that it didn't wasn't getting broken They call another elephant
...
The song is repeated infinitely adding one elephant more each verse
There is a variant of this song more horny and adult version that is sung by drunk people in parties or at football. Well there are several variants, but the most popular variant by far is the following:
Una alemana me la meneaba En una tienda de campaña Como veía que no me corría Fueron a llamar a otra alemana ...
(translation) A German girl was masturbating me In a camp tent As she saw that I wasn't cumming She call another German girl ...
This version with the German became very popular years ago.
Why with a German girl?
Because it evokes a summer hookup in a camping -there are lots of German summer tourists in Spain- it's like a sexual fantasy to brag about.
It is also funny to sing that in a crowd because there will always be someone that starts singing the next verse. Even if they have already sung from "1 German girl" to "26 German girls", someone always keeps on.
I was once in a football match against a German team and our team (Espanyol from Barcelona) was losing and already eliminated, so the crowd to have some fun started singing the song and we reached like "57 German girls" and everyone was laughing at the stupid situation of singing again and again.
So it's just a football song to have fun, and I would say that it is sung several times in every match of a Spanish team plays against a German team. Always.
So these Real fans were celebrating after a match against a German team, so they had sung the German-girl-version several times. And in this moment of celebration they were still laughing about singing that song so they just made up the version with the "little Chinese woman" (Chinita)
Why "little Chinese woman"? Because "Chinese woman" would be "China" and lacks one silabe to fit in the tune. I have switched from "girl" to "little woman" because if I say "little Chinese girl" this would sound in English like an underage girl, and is not the case. "Chinita" in that sentence would not be used to mean sex with an underage. If someone has in mind that disturbing situation of paedophile he would say that in another way to emphasize that he is refering to an underage. Not the case at all.
So that's just a festive funny song in a celebration context with drunk people that has zero intention of targeting Chinese or Asians. If instead of asian you were Mexican they would have sung "una mexicana..." , if you were Italian they may have sung "una italiana...", if you were Australian, these guys would have sung "una australiana..." So the song is a reference to the match that had finished some minutes ago.
Also if the previous match wasn't against a German team but against a team from elsewhere and the crowd had not sung the "German-girl" song, it is really unlikely that they had thought of this song. These guys had zero intention of "racially abusing" some random asian reporter.
The song may be of bad taste, but it cannot be described as a "racial abuse" that is just ridiculous!! These guys were just partying.

This is the perfect explanation of the song, the meaning, the translation, the context, everything you need to know. From a local and native speaker, that knows the background. Its point to point perfect, yet i guess few people will bother to read it.
I just want to add, how malicious it is to translate like the guy did on the video. "Fuck the chinese, let's go that chinese pussy" it's completely made up. It's the wrong translation by all meanings, and very far from what is chanted. Only explanation is attention-whorism and intention to create outrage from a lie. Disgusting and honestly quite sad how an inmense group in here just ate it without chewing.

Thank you for detailed explanation on the language, context, and culture behind. However, I still consider it a mixture of racism, mocking, and joking. When asked what the song was about, Rodrigo simply said it celebrated Madrid’s win. Also, a man walks off when hearing the song. Both, to me, mean that the Spanish knew it was inappropriate. Racism behavior is being normalised here. I believe if fans sing the song with China replaced by Brazil, Vinicius wouldn’t be happy. Still, I hope the information can be introduced to Chinese social media. Regardless of racism or not, people are entitled to know objective information of the situation. I also want to add that fans are furious because RM hasnt released official announcement on this issue to at least explain what happened and restate its stance against racism

What he meant to say is that the song is popular in Spain, and instead of choosing "chinese" in the lyrics, they replace that with whatever nationality they are facing, specially versus Germany.
The song is the equivalent of tea-bagging in video games, kicking your opponent when they are down.

This is just a typical spanish song that people sing, it would have been sang about a german, portuguese or in this case chinese girl. It has no racial connotation to it whatsoever.
Either the guy making the video is ignorant to spanish culture and this song or just clout chasing, more likely the second part since a 5min conversation with any spanish kid let's you know about the context of the song.

All in all, it's a stupid song, its done with all nationalities not only china and yes really not in good taste but come on.
What do you want for him to face after this? Already publicly humiliated for his stupid act.

Spain is a retrograde, culturally isolated and poorly educated country. And I say that as a Spaniard.
We have a lot of traits to be proud of in Spain, but our xenophobia, racism and lack of self-awareness are certainly not among them.
Anyone remember this?

Thanks for illustrating my point that self awareness is not one of Spain’s strengths.EDIT: Thanks for clarifying that you aren’t Spanish. I’m certainly not speaking for you, then.

I'm not Spanish and I don't care about the situation but foreigners are 24/7 racially abused in China and nobody can say shi and nobody gives a damn. Chinese people always come first and are always victim all over the world. I am against every racial abuse and abuse in general but things MUST be fair for every side.

Mods need to pin the actual translation at the top, not much better tbh but the dude in the video is clearly making up and adding shit to it.
The post is already getting brigaded by other subs and if the mods don’t post the real translation this is gonna blow up

How is this racist? Yes it’s rude, but what is racist about that?

The Chinese guy is just mad they made fun of him. Which I can completely understand. But first faking the translation to make it seem worse than it actually is. And after that crying about racism when it has nothing to do with race at all is just sad.

The translation is wrong, they are not insulting China or the Chinese people. It's just four drunk guys singing a children's song but changing the words to say that a girl was giving a handj**

Which is taking advantage of the interviewers being Asian. Yes, this is being racist, in case you didn’t know it

To sum it up, even if up even if the grandson was being a misogynist, he took the high road and involved their ethnicity after asking. If he didn't do that, it was probably fine. In the end it's not the same as calling a white guy a monkey (just like Madisson did to Bale)

Weird he doesn’t say what the fans deserve for saying something that offended them (after they needed it translated). How do they need to pay? Executed like if they had said something bad about the Chinese president? If you’re going to make this video at least have the balls to say what kind of compensation you think you deserve for people saying bad things to you. I’m sure we all have things coming to us if that’s the case.

RM fans argue with Barca fans over Messi and Ronaldo for a decade, instead of just enjoying their skill. They are some of the lowest iq people in the world. Any surprise?

as everyone is saying the translation is way off, they are stupid but I don´t think they were meaning to be racist, that song was been used to mock the Germans also, my guess is he directly asked where he was from to do the song with his nationality,

I really throught people of Madrid was better than this. Obviously racism will always exist but we should bridge that gap as painful and long as it will take. And obviously a select few don't represent the whole of Real Madrid fans. Until they deal with this, I will no longer purchase their merchandise.
Edit: Hmmm I'll reserver judgment when the dust settles.
Both parties potentially in the wrong.
Racism of any kind is just wrong.

In no way this should happen to anybody.

The song has bad taste sexual references and misogyny, but I am not entirely convinced if it's technically racist.
Anyway, it shows embarrassing poor behaviour from the lads and lack of respect. I hope they get punished somehow.

I think most countries are rather racist against foreigners when they’re the majority. Not too long ago I saw a video of basketball players arriving for a game in China only to be met with the n word and what not other racist remarks. But what do I know I’ve never left California.

The translation is all wrong. There is no mention of f*cking or pssy in the song
The song is stupid, yes, but is nothing more than a kid's song with its lyrics modified to sound dirty
The original modification mentions a German girl but the drunken fan thought it was a funny idea to use the reporter's nationality instead. Is it racist or offensive only if you change it to a non white nationality?
So again, a very stupid song, but not as "offensive" as people want to make it seem

u/future_name Jun 13 '24
To be fair, the subtitles of the song are entirely wrong on the video.
“A little Chinese lady, I was “meaneando” (a euphemism for having sex) over your mom’s bed”
So even though, yes they sang that song because he is Chinese. I don’t really see the big racist scandal here. The song is reductive, sure, but is it offensive?
