A local Mexican trade group leader was caught on video making a racist, slanted-eye gesture at a South Korean influencer during a World Cup match in Jalisco, Mexico — and will be removed from office after the clip went viral, The Post has learned.

Yoon Su-jin — who has nearly 9 million combined followers on TikTok and YouTube — was filming herself celebrating South Korea’s opening World Cup victory against Czechia Thursday when College of Topographic and Geomatic Engineers of Jalisco President Ulises Bernal made the gesture behind her.

While being recorded, Bernal, a government trade group leader who was decked out in the Mexican national team’s away jersey, began making several hand signs while he laughed in the background of Yoon’s shot. He then made the racist gesture, chuckled and leaned back into his seat as a stunned Yoon stared at her camera, the clip showed.

“I came all the way to Mexico for the World Cup, but … am I being too sensitive?” Yoon, who goes by Incocat_t, wrote in Korean.

“POV: You traveled across the world for the World Cup… and experienced racism.”

A spokesperson for the government trade association, which trains and licenses engineers, told The Post: “We are deeply saddened by what is happening regarding this incident.”

When asked if Bernal would face any punishment, they said “the Honor and Justice Committee is meeting this same day” and that Bernal would be “removed from office.”

Yoon’s social media followers showered her with love and support.

“That’s rude, that’s not right! I apologize, not all Mexicans are like that,” one person
commented.

“Just as there are people all over the world with something wrong with their brains, that guy is no exception,” an online looker said. “Let it go and enjoy everything else.”

However, there were some followers as insensitive as Bernal.

“A few years ago, no one took offense at that gesture,” one person claimed. “Today, people are so thin-skinned that they call anything racism.”

Another bizarrely insisted the gesture was a reflection of “Mexican culture.”

“That’s just how we are in Mexico. We give everyone nicknames, we make fun of everything, and we love to tease and banter — it’s what makes us happy,” the person wrote. “Just because there’s a lot of racism in the US, people want to apply that same standard to Mexico? Give me a break.”
