Damn, that sucks.
Although the Chinese are known to be incredibly racist toward whites, when I went there I got ambushed by a few racist men, they were chanting 'die whitey' in Engrish. Luckily I realized that they are not all martial artists, so I promptly returned the ass beating favor. But on the other hand, we don't know the full story, the kid could of done something.

I've seen a simular experiment(not sure where) where they did the same thing, but shifted the roles back and forth. When the man was abusive to the woman people stepped in often and quickly, confronting the man and protecting the woman, but when the woman attacked the man people just laughed and pointed. Even a police officer who walked by didn't give a shit when the man was the submissive one.Fronken said:
When the bystanders got confronted by the camera crew those that saw a man beating a woman said they thought he was a pig and should be put in jail(or simular). Those that saw a woman beating a man thought he deserved it.
I think it was done in USA though. It's can be very different depending on the country. If you did that test in Sweden, where I'm from, you'd probably get the same results as in Norway. "Thanks" to the Jante law we're all pretty avoidant of confrontations.
OT: Horrible video, but I would prefer to know the real story behind this. Still very awful to see them gang up on a little kid like that.
Here we go again.
Video without crucial introduction or context + misleading video title + forum full of people willing to outdo eachother in righteousness = sh*tstorm.
It's an old video and IIRC the kid isn't white, he's a subculture of Chinese (not that that should change anything) and he was being punished for stealing. In some parts of the world he would have had his hand cut off, being made to cry is positively tame in comparison.
It's a big world and somewhere out there bad stuff is happening every second of every day. I for one don't have the mental or emotional capacity to get genuinely worked up about every last injustice.

You're making it sound like a parent swatting a kid for acting like a fool is gonna damage them for when they're a teen / adult. I as an example been swatted for acting like a idiot because there was no getting through to me then because at the time respect was a song a sung poorly.Sexual Harassment Panda said:
I didn't understand the concepts of personal space and leaving people alone. This happens to most kids they don't understand boundaries until pain is involved. Hell a majority of things in life are revolved learning that somethings really hurt. So it teaches us to either NOT do it or do it in a away to avoid pain.
You as an adult can have thick skin and pretend shit doesn't get to you because "society" deems negative emotions as below us or something like that. That's far from right way of doing things. Stress is a two way street it's caused by an outward force and how you react to it. It's not a completely inner personal thing that someone can instantly just brush off the moment shit happen. If that was true PTSD wouldn't even exist. It's all about control. When an outward / inward force is too much for the person to handle they'll snap and or just breakdown.
You last point you can destroy them with words...they're really not thick-skinned at all you can only destroy them with words only when they understand the words that are being yelled at them. Remember I'm talking about young kids 4-8 not knowing any better. Also kids are more likely to hate their parents for what they say to them. Then a mild pop to indicate that what they were doing or was about to do was wrong.
On a side note did anyone else read the comments of the video on that site? Some of them I feel are worse than the video itself. Difference between moderated and unmoderated sites? We'll never know.
Why...why the actual fuck did people just sit there and watch? No one tried to call the police? I don't care if they were bigger and tougher than me (which they probably aren't) I'd intervene and sort them out.
then again, I don't know what it's like in China and I dunno if this stuff happens regularly. And I'm not going to generalise the whole country, but I think some places there need better laws and better people.

Pfft, that's just the way people in China greet each other. Everyone there knows the Kung Fu Kick Greeting...
OT: Does anyone really know the context of this anyways? Does anyone know what they are saying in the video? My Chinese is a little...well, nonexistent.

kids either going to grow up racist, or become a serial killer for all the atrocities put against him.

Communism isn't the cause of this. I have no idea where you get your facts, but communism is just that everyone is created equal. no class system. no rich, no poor. you work to live, not to make money. do your job, and get food and a place to live. the only unfortunate thing from it is that the government has a secret rule that some people are more equal than others. namely those in power. Besides, the whole "MERICA vs communists" was simply planned economy (communism) vs capitalism. You know where that got us? through almost TWO great depressions and more debt than we care to talk about.blackguard89 said:
No, this could have happened anywhere. It's just that in "modern" countries, people would have put on an act of giving a damn and punishing the people who did this. This could be any kid, from any country, of any race. Hey! guess what? there's a little known truth about this world that not many people know. HUMANS SUCK.
Not a law, but rather countless psychological and sociological studies on the subject which have amounted in quite a few a theories that so far seem to be holding their ground quite well (and people scoff on them for being soft sciences, ha!), the one you're thinking off is likely the "bystander effect".Berithil said:
Bystander effect: the more there are people around who don't help and or seem to react to an individual in trouble, the harder it is to go against the social norms that are hardwired in us to follow the rest of the herd and help the person.
People can then add give various justifications such as "no one else is helping, why should i", "if there really was a problem, others would have helped" to the more pragmatic "im too busy, havent the time or motivation to break social norms for this person" to reinforce this notion and further solidify their decision not to help.
In the US you only have a Duty to Rescue when you yourself creates the hazard into which another individual falls else you are liable for civil lawsuits.
I hadn't seen that video before. Disturbing. As far as I can tell, the assult is carried out by two people. The first one only kicks the boy lightly.
The second one ( with the blue shoes) kicks him, then tries to break his fingers by standing on the boys hand, when that doesn't work, he drags the boy to the side to "CURB-STOMP" his fingers into breaking.
( I put emphasis there because I've seen several commentors say something about the assult "not being that bad" or " just making him cry")
It's hard to tell if the curb-stomp manuever was successfull in breaking the boy's fingers, but given that he doesn't bend them afterwards, I think it's safe to assume the child has one or more broken fingers.
Evidently the title about "racism" is meant to mislead. I am not entirely sure the boy is "white", so that would make sense. I've seen several posters mention something about the boy stealing. That is interesting.
The boy in the video appears to be between the ages of 9-10. Which, I personally believe is far too young for the punishment he is getting. Regardless of whether he stole something or not. If he was 15 or older, I would not have a problem with a thief getting rough justice, but a child getting that treatment is more on the side of torture than punishment.

It looks like that kid stole something, from what I can gather at least. The attackers seemed to be aiming for his hands/fingers. But there were also some kicks to the head, so I don't know. Still, what ever that kid did to piss those guys off, I'm sure it didn't warrant a beating to that calibre.
