Yanfri, the boy from Quibdo who became a phenomenon on social networks for the recording in which he said that he walked like a man when he went to school, He asked people not to use an old audio from one of his videos that he went viral for the phrase: “Aunt Paola!”

On that occasion, The little boy tells his relative that one of his cousins, with whom he is hanging out in a swimming pool, said something rude, and the boy, with his characteristic tenderness and innocence, points out that he is not going to repeat the ‘expletive’. The aunt then replies that this makes God cry.

Nevertheless, the audio was resumed at the end of 2022 in the exact part where he calls the sister of one of his parents, but in humorous content on social networks with which they called people of African descent, as well as for black animals and objects.

such action caused a controversy among users of social networks because for many the innocent expression of the child was perverted in a way of demerit to the black community.

Even the renowned influencer Tishell made a strong reflection on the way in which that expression had been used of the little one so loved in Colombia and who has transcended borders.

“I don’t know if they realize how racist this trend is, I don’t know if they realize that people are not interested and he doesn’t mind hiding his racism, plus he’s a black kid. I imagine that if this trend were used with a white child, it offends them because ‘it’s a child’, but when it’s a black child, identity is lost, respect is lost, (they say) ‘it doesn’t matter, let’s abuse him, his identity, his accent, his physical appearance,’” he said.

But it was until On Friday, December 20, another video of the boy from the Chocoana capital was popularized from Yanfry’s official Instagram account, in which even his aunt Paola appears to denounce how that phrase was turned into a racist expression.

In the improvised short of less than a minute, the minor He goes hand in hand with a neighbor from his neighborhood in Quibdó and greets some friends from his block who shout at them: “Aunt Paola!”.

Then Yanfry claims them: “Why do you call me like that?” To which they reply that it is because she has Aunt Paola color. He then goes to his relative -who can be seen on the screen for the first time, since only his voice is heard in the original video that sparked the controversy- and together they will make the other children reflect.

“What you said is racism” Yanfry told them, hand in hand with the sister of one of his parents, who also reprimands his nephew’s friends: “Do you know the damage they can cause to other children and other people? You have to think to speak!”

The minors apologize and in the end they all come out together pronouncing the phrase: “No to racism”.
