A South Korean YouTuber, Ino Cat, documented a racist incident during a World Cup qualifying match between South Korea and Czechia in Guadalajara, Mexico. A Mexican fan seated behind her made a gesture—pulling at the corners of his eyes—widely considered offensive and mocking towards people of Asian descent. The individual was later identified as Ulises Fernando Bernal Miramontes, president of the Engineers Association of Jalisco. Following public outcry after the video went viral, Bernal issued a public apology, expressing remorse for his actions and acknowledging the harm caused. He stated he did not intend to justify or argue his behavior, but to sincerely apologize. The Engineers Association of Jalisco subsequently clarified that Bernal’s actions were unrelated to the organization and did not represent its views. The incident highlights ongoing issues of racial discrimination at international sporting events.
