Shanghai Auto Show: Mini responds to Chinese ice cream racism uproar
UK-based carmaker Mini has responded to an internet uproar in China accusing it of racism at the Shanghai Auto Show. A video from the event appeared to show Mini staff offering ice cream to foreigners while refusing to give it to Chinese visitors. In a statement posted on Chinese social media platform Weibo, Mini China said it had given out a total of 600 ice creams during show on 18 and 19 April. "In addition to distributing 300 portions of ice cream per day, we also reserved a very small portion for our hardworking colleagues on-site," Mini China said. The incident spurred one vlogger to give out ice cream in front of Mini's auto show booth.
