球员涉嫌辱华，皇家马德里道歉

近日，西班牙知名足球俱乐部皇家马德里球员赫伊森涉嫌辱华事件引发关注。

2月22日晚间，@皇家马德里足球俱乐部 微博发布了赫伊森的道歉内容，称此事“纯属无心之过”。 赫伊森说： “我谨向中国朋友们真诚致歉。此前我不慎转发了一条包含冒犯性内容的帖子，纯属无心之过，对因此造成的困扰表示歉意。”

Real Madrid's Sina Weibo post citing defender Dean Huijsen's apology after his controversial Instagram repost, which included derogatory racial comments targeting Chinese and Asian people, has been met with significant backlash from Chinese fans, who criticize it as insincere and indicative of double standards as there were no parallel statements on the club's global platforms or from Huijsen himself.

"I sincerely apologize to my Chinese friends. Previously, I inadvertently reposted a post containing offensive content, which was purely unintentional, and I apologize for the distress caused," the statement citing Huijsen reads.

然而，许多网友对该道歉帖并不买账，认为这种涉事球员未亲自道歉、俱乐部官网无公告 及涉事海外平台并未同步发帖 的方式“看不到诚意”。

While Real Madrid's apology aimed to address the uproar, it has fueled further discontent among Chinese fans, who view it as insufficient and region-specific.

Posted exclusively on the club's Weibo account, a platform primarily used in China, the statement has not appeared on Huijsen's Instagram, Twitter, or the club's international channels.

This has led to accusations of a "China-only" response, with many labeling it as performative and insincere.

此前，赫伊森在其个人社交媒体上，转发一条多图动态，该动态的首张截图下写着两条英语评论“就连中国人都会觉得他像中国人”“用牙线都能挡住他的眼睛”，有明显的辱华意味，赫伊森随后将其删除。

The incident unfolded late on Saturday when Huijsen, a 20-year-old Dutch-Spanish player with over 5.2 million Instagram followers, reposted the film review of an Asian movie.

The post's accompanying image featured malicious screenshots from a comment section, including phrases like "Even Chinese call him Chinese" and "You could blindfold him with dental floss". The latter remark is widely seen in Western contexts as a derogatory slur mocking Asian eye shapes, specifically targeting Chinese or East Asian physical features.

Huijsen deleted the repost shortly after it sparked outrage, but he did not initially issue a public apology on his personal accounts.
