홍콩의 한 학교 교장이 싱가포르에서 남아시아계 보안요원 두 명과 언쟁을 벌이는 영상이 공개되면서 온라인상에서 비판을 받고 있다. 해당 행동이 무례한 것인지, 아니면 인종차별적인 동기가 있었는지를 두고 의견이 갈리고 있다.
튄문 지역 신회상업협회 중학교의 리척힝 교장은 지난 금요일 학교 수학여행 도중 영상이 촬영되었다. 해당 영상에는 그가 단체 버스 주차 문제와 관련해 여성 보안요원 두 명에게 고함을 지르는 모습이 담겼다. 그는 광둥어로 욕설을 섞어가며 "무례하다", "입 다물라", "꺼져라" 등의 표현을 사용했다.
언쟁 도중 보안요원들은 화가 난 듯 리 교장을 향해 손가락질을 하기도 했다. 현장을 목격한 이들은 그가 중국계로 보이는 행인에게는 다르게 행동했다는 점을 지적했다.
홍콩 다양성 이니셔티브의 존 체 윙링 상임이사는 해당 행동에 인종차별적 동기가 있었는지 단정 짓기는 어렵다고 말했다. 대다수의 온라인 댓글은 교장의 예의 부족에 초점을 맞추고 있다.
