A video showing televisions being rebranded and sold as LG products continued to stir controversy, with many reactions veering into ethnic stereotyping.

One comment fully condemned an entire group, stating “This is why I can never buy anything from Igbo people. Too greedy.” The remark generalizes the actions of a few individuals to an entire ethnic group, attributing greed and untrustworthiness to all Igbo people. This shifts focus from the actual crime of counterfeiting to discriminatory stereotyping, unfairly maligning a whole community instead of holding specific offenders accountable.
