Asian TikToker Called a ‘Ch*nk,’ ‘Zipperhead’ in Racist Encounter on Omegle

A TikTok user with a following of nearly 100,000 recently shared a video of his encounter with a racist on Omegle.

What happened: On June 27, Seantanwanton shared a short clip of his interaction, Dexerto reported.

The video started when a white young man and an off-camera friend began calling Seantanwanton “ch*nk” and “zipperhead.”
During the interaction, the young man asked the TikTok user if he knew what a “zipperhead” was. He then gave a detailed description of the derogatory term used against East Asian people.
Seantanwanton was surprised by the young man’s enthusiasm as he explained the gruesome origins of the racial slur, which was used during the Korean War.
The Singaporean-born TikTok user immediately cut the video when the man started to compare the Asian slur to the N-word.

Reaction and support: Seantanwanton told Newsweek that the encounter on Omegle left him feeling “pissed, angry and annoyed.”

The TikTok user said he always experienced “such things every time I am on the TikTok server.” He hoped the video he shared would help teach “others to be respectful to different people from different countries.”
He received a lot of support from his followers after sharing the video on social media.

An Asian woman had a similar encounter last year where she recorded the racists she met on Omegle amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
