Dancing With the Stars<\/a> pro dancer Jenna Johnson’s<\/a> old Instagram post from 2012 has resurfaced, in which she uses a mock-Chinese phrase that’s widely regarded as a racist slur. <\/p>\n

Jenna posted the photos on April 1, 2012<\/a>, with the caption, “Ch*ng ch*ng wingadee wong, Beijing here we come!!” The post announced her upcoming competition at the World Latin Championships in Beijing, China, representing the United States. Her dance partner Landon Anderson is also seen in the pictures.<\/p>\n

At the time, she was 18 years old and ranked in 28th place. The post has since been deleted, but people have shared screenshots of the post online for years.<\/p>\n

A Reddit thread from 2020 posted the screenshot with the caption: “I found a deleted racist post that Jenna posted on Instagram back in 2012. I found it on Twitter. To this day, she has never addressed it or even apologised.”<\/p>\n
