貝爾納爾在聲明中表示:“過去幾天,一段視頻在網絡上傳播并引發了廣泛反應。因此,我認為有必要公開致歉。”13日,其所屬CITGEJ協會已發布聲明稱對此事件“深感遺憾”,并緊急召開榮譽與正義委員會會議,決定解除其主席職務。
Bernal, president of the Jalisco Association of Surveyors and Geomatics Engineers (CITGEJ) in Mexico, said in a bilingual post in English and Spanish that "Over the past few days, a video has circulated online and generated a wide range of reactions. For that reason, I believe it is important to make a public apology."
CITGEJ said in a statement on Saturday that the organization "deeply regretted" the incident and it had launched an internal review before confirming his removal from post.
綜合《韓國先驅報》等媒體14日報道,2026美加墨世界杯賽場看臺上,一名在各大社交媒體平臺累計擁有約900萬粉絲的韓國博主拍攝視頻時,其身后一名墨西哥男子對著鏡頭做疑似“瞇瞇眼”動作,隨后,該博主臉上的笑容消失。
The incident occurred on June 11 when Inonyang, a South Korean YouTuber, with 9 million followers across social media platforms such as TikTok and YouTube, was filming a video capturing the excitement following the South Korean national team's victory in the first group stage match against the Czech Republic at the North American World Cup, held at Guadalajara Stadium in Zapopan, Mexico, asiae.co.kr reported.
The video captured the man sitting behind Inonyang, later identified as Bernal, making mocking gestures toward the camera, including the "slant-eye" gesture while laughing. The "slant-eye" gesture is considered one of the most typical acts of racial discrimination against East Asians. The video also recorded the moment when Inonyang, subjected to the racist act, stared at the camera with a tense expression, according to asiae.co.kr.
該博主在視頻配文中寫道:“你遠赴重洋觀看世界杯……卻遭種族歧視……”韓媒稱,做“瞇瞇眼”動作是一種針對亞洲人的種族歧視行為,視頻中一幕在韓國和墨西哥均引發爭議。有墨西哥網友就此表達歉意,并稱上述男子并不代表所有墨西哥人。
Inonyang wrote a caption accompanying her video: "You traveled across the world for the World Cup … And experienced racism…"
“令人震驚。”韓國《朝鮮日報》稱,2026年美加墨世界杯拉開帷幕后不久,就發生一起種族歧視事件。報道還稱,有韓國高校教授在社交平臺上發帖,稱此類事件不可接受,要求上述墨西哥男子道歉,并敦促國際足聯采取措施,防止此類事件再次發生。
