A Mexican man caught on video pulling the corners of his eyes during the World Cup match between South Korea and the Czech Republic has apologised after the clip sparked a backlash.
A South Korean content creator had posted a video of herself at the match last Friday, where Ulises Fernando Bernal Miramontes, seated behind her, was seen making the slanted-eyes pose then laughing it off. The pose is seen as disrespectful to East Asians.
The incident generated much outrage online, with many Mexicans expressing disgust at his actions.
Bernal later apologised and reports say he has been removed from his position as president of a Mexican engineering guild.
