Recently, a clip surfaced on social media showing a TikToker using harsh and offensive language while donating food to homeless people in Ho Chi Minh City, sparking intense debate and outrage online.
Specifically, in the video, the male TikToker named Nờ Ô Nô approaches an elderly woman sitting at a bus stop and offers to buy her favorite meal. What caught attention right away was the series title, “What Poor People Eat, I Eat Too,” which upset many viewers. On top of that, Nờ Ô Nô used a string of disrespectful phrases while talking to the elderly lady, such as “Hello, poor old lady lonely in the cold” and even said things like “You’re poor but still picky about food” and “Stop being poor, no one will help you forever.”

“No matter if it’s content creation or any reason, this kind of disrespectful behavior insults the image of Vietnamese people. The older generation, even if not related by blood or upbringing, contributed to building a better environment for the next generation. I declare I will never visit any restaurant this guy reviews! I just can’t swallow it!” shared netizen N.P.N.
Currently, Nờ Ô Nô’s latest clip is still drawing a lot of attention and fueling a strong wave of backlash on social media.
