Brooklyn Beckham has been accused of 'racism' after he posted photos of Asian tourists during his trip in Italy on Instagram, Chinese media has reported.

In his pictures under the caption 'no place like Italy innit', several Asian-looking visitors were sitting on a gondola in a canal while another photo shows an Asian-looking woman walking in a supermarket aisle.

Many Chinese net users took offence to the 19-year-old's pictures, believing that the young Beckham implied that there might be some reason why Chinese tourists should not visit the European country.

Brooklyn Beckham posted pictures of his holiday in Italy under the caption 'no place like Italy innit' on his Instagram. Several Asian-looking tourists were seen sitting on a gondola in a canal while another photo shows an Asian-looking woman walking in a supermarket aisle

The young Beckham has now set his Instagram to private mode shortly after the incident

Net users took to Instagram, Twitter and Weibo to criticise the youngster, who deleted the picture of the woman in the supermarket and changed his Instagram account to private apparently shortly after the incident, according to news site Sina.

They also accused Brooklyn of taking and posting the photos without permission.

'What should Italy look like? All White?' user zzfffzzz said on Twitter.

'You think you're so subtle in your words,' commented user aivenven on the now-deleted Instagram post. 'I hope you'll never come to Asia. People in Asia don't like you anymore, you're just a white boy with no manners.'

Brooklyn Beckham, the eldest son of David Beckham, has been accused of 'racism' after he posted photos of his holiday in Italy on Instagram

'What's wrong for these Chinese tourists to take a holiday with their hard-earned money? They can go wherever they want. You're nothing without your parents,' user kakuka_guo commented, referring to Brooklyn's parents, Victoria and David Beckham.

However, some say that people were too quick to jump to conclusions, while others said the people in the pictures aren't necessarily Chinese.

'There are a lot of Chinese people everywhere in the first place, I didn't think he was insulting Chinese people at all,' user Shuofenshoudebubiliu said on Weibo.

Net users accuse Brooklyn of 'racism'. Shen.xinyu comments on his post: 'What? Racial Discrimination? What's wrong if we are rich? We didn't ban you from visiting China, did we?'

'How is this racism? I don't understand,' lgh00076 agreed.

'Maybe he just posted the pictures because he didn't expect to see so many Asians in a European country,' user Jingsi said.

Millions of Chinese people are on the move after the nation kicked off its Golden Week public holiday on October 1.

MailOnline has reached out to Brooklyn Beckham's representatives for comment.
