Bentancur claimed South Koreans ‘all look the same’‘He made a mistake’ says Son of Spurs teammate
Son Heung-min has confirmed Rodrigo Bentancur has apologised for making a racist joke about him during a television interview in Uruguay, saying his Tottenham team-mate had “made a mistake.”
Anti-discrimination charity Kick It Out said on Wednesday it had received a “significant number” of complaints regarding Bentancur’s comments, in which the midfielder appeared to say that South Korean people “all look the same”. Spurs said that they have been “providing assistance” to ensure that the 26-year-old Uruguayan is educated along with the rest of the squad in the club’s diversity, equality and inclusion objectives.
