A TikTok video has gone viral, sparking widespread outrage after a TikToker, known as Seeno, was subjected to racial abuse by three white South African boys. The video, posted on the account @uncleseeno, shows a brief but disturbing interaction where Seeno is repeatedly insulted with racial slurs, including the K-word, by one of the boys.
The video starts with one of the boys saying, “Yho yho, my nigger,” prompting Seeno to ask if the boy was referring to him by saying nigger. The situation quickly escalates as the boy responds in Afrikaans he is heard saying, “Ek het gese jy is a kir. Hello, k***ir.” Joined by his friend, the boy repeats the K-word multiple times before adding a chilling threat: “If you weren’t on TikTok, I’d shoot and kill you.”
In a video posted by @PSAFLIVE on X (formerly Twitter), the identity of the boy involved in the racial slur incident was revealed, along with details about the school he currently attends.
