In a blood-boiling incident, a Twitch streamer from Thailand was subjected to racial harassment when she was live-streaming in Belgium's Brussels. The Thai Twitch streamer named Ppim was live-streaming an "IRL" (In Real Life) session while on the streets of Brussels in Belgium when a group of men started hurling racial slurs at her. Ppim's video is now spreading like wildfire on social media and a section of media is hailing the streamer from Thailand for standing up against the harassers in an 'alien' country for her. In the Brussels racism video, it can be seen a group of men deliberately greeted her in "Chinese" and made racial comments, aiming to mock her based on her Asian ethnicity.
Going by the video, miscreants scream 'Nihao' after seeing the streamer. Listening to this, the Twitch streamer angrily replied, "I am not from China. You stop saying Nihao. OK! That is fu*king racist." Despite clearly saying that what they are saying is racist, the miscreants continued saying Nihao and one of them even try to touch her physically. The streamer said, "I am not from China man, I am from Thailand. You f**king educate. Not everybody is from China. F**k you. You f**king bi*ch."
