The black newly crowned Mr
Friuli-Venezia Giulia has been subjected to racial slurs on
social media because of the colour of his skin, his agent told
local media Tuesday.
Alioune Diouf, 18, a 1.98m-tall basketball player originally
from Senegal who has been living in Udine for five years, was
said to be "very upset" by the hate posts.
"I'm really happy here, but then things like this happen to
spoil it," he told Il Messaggero Veneto.
