On Monday, a broadcast of the satirical Italian show
Striscia la Notizia included a segment reflecting on the Italian national broadcasting company RAI, whose headquarters are located in Beijing.
Hosts Gerry Scotti, a former Italian Parliament member, and Michelle Hunziker, a model and actress, began mocking how Chinese men and women pronounce the letter R. According to the outspoken fashion critic Instagram account @DietPrada, at several points in the broadcast, they said the company was called LAI instead of RAI.
Diet Prada also reported that Scotti and Hunziker then proceeded to pull the corners of their eyes up in the manner of common racist gestures meant to caricaturize Asian features.
