Italian Streamer Confronted On Stream After American Mistakenly Hears Him Say The N-Word

Very unfortunate misunderstanding over in Japan as an Italian streamer said the word “amiga” in Spanish (meaning “friend”) while streaming in Tokyo.

He was overheard by a black American, who thought he heard the N-word and confronted him over it – threatening to slap the guy unless he apologised.

Lol – poor guy didn’t have a clue what was going on. It’s bad enough that he was threatened and intimidated, but imagine if he had gotten beaten up over it too?

This American is in Japan, talking to a tourist who isn’t speaking Japanese or English, you’d think maybe he would grasp the possibility that there’s some other explanation for what he thought he had heard. Guy’s racism radar must be on extreme high alert if he’s hearing “amiga” and is convinced he’s just been racially abused in a foreign country.

Well anyway, good luck to anyone else out there who speaks a language that contains a word that sounds like the N-word. You don’t want to say the Spanish word for black around this guy, that’s for sure.

For the British girl who called a bouncer the N-word 25 times and blamed it on the death of her mum, click HERE. Hell of an excuse.
