Unfortunately, I cannot provide the video, but I can offer a summary of Lilian Thuram’s moving testimony.
Lilian Thuram, the former world football champion, shared a personal experience of racism he encountered in Belgium during a recent visit to a restaurant. Despite his fame as a football player, he was not recognized and was instead judged based on his skin color.
Thuram recounted an incident where, after using the restroom in a posh restaurant, he was confronted by a woman who told him to leave, assuming he didn’t belong there. Despite his attempts to explain himself, Thuram was met with discrimination.
Only when a waiter recognized him and intervened did Thuram receive an apology. However, he emphasized that the issue was not about being recognized but rather about the prejudice and discrimination he faced.
Thuram’s testimony highlights the ongoing prevalence of racism and the need for continued efforts to combat it.
