'Racist quiz' | Sacked PwC execs dressed as 'Wuhan bats' and 'mocked Chinese accents' at work event

Two executives at accounting firm PwC have been sacked for performing 'racist sketches’ at a company quiz night.

As reported by the Daily Mail, one employee at the major accounting firm dressed up as a “bat from Wuhan” - a reference to the origins of the Coronavirus pandemic - while another mocked Chinese accents during the event, which took place in Australia at the end of September.

The media outlet also said contents of the trivia night included asking players to “choose which company represented communism with one answer being the Chinese tech company Huawei.”

The firm’s Chief Executive, Tom Seymour, has since apologised on behalf of the company following the event. He called the behaviour “thoughtless and harmful” and said the incident “did not reflect the values and culture of our firm”.
