If there’s a lesson from this story, it’s that hate exists everywhere.

Jamie Foxx was apparently the target of racial slurs in Croatia, where he was derogatorily called a ‘n----r’ by two men in a restaurant.

Foxx is currently shooting Robin Hood: Origins; he’s playing the character of Little John in the film.

He's currently staying in the beautiful resort town of Dubrovnik, but it’s not all been sunshine and rainbows. It appears that two men, aged 44 and 50, were causing a disturbance in the restaurant by loudly insulting many of the other diners. That included Foxx, and when the men referred to the Academy Award-winning actor, they called him ‘crncuga’, which roughly translates to the n-word.

Police quickly arrived on the scene and took the two men into custody. Their report says that the perpetrators were acting “in a particularly arrogant and rude way,” and that the older of the two, “insulted one of the guests on racial grounds.”

Foxx wasn’t mentioned by name in the report, but he immediately took to Instagram to document the experience (the post has since been deleted). The police are reportedly going to press misdemeanor charges against the two men.

But since that incident, Foxx’s time on the island hasn’t been all bad. He took to Instagram again the following day to post his thoughts on the country and town, saying that his “mind [is] blown” by the beauty.

It’s good to know he’s moved on quickly from the unfortunate incident.
