A South Korean TV network has apologized for the batshit graphics it used for other countries as they entered the Olympics Opening Ceremony: Chernobyl for Ukraine, Dracula for Romania, civil unrest for Haiti. The New Zealand Herald reports that after screenshots of the stereotypes ricocheted around social media on Friday, MBC issued a mea culpa: “In today’s Opening Ceremony broadcast, inappropriate photos were used when introducing countries like Ukraine and Haiti. Also, inappropriate photos and subtitles were used for other countries.”
South Korean broadcaster MBC used images to "represent" each country during the #Tokyo2020 Opening Ceremony.
