Racist comments against Indians invite wrath
TNN | Updated: Jan 28, 2017, 11.02 PM IST
An extremely racist advertisement in the in-flight magazine of Air China has created a stir across the world. The contents of the ad warn passengers to stay away from specific areas in London that are mostly populated by Indians, Pakistanis and Blacks. Coincidentally, the ad was pointed out by a Chinese journalist named Haze Fan travelling by the airline.
Air China, following the trolling on a micro-blogging site, has removed the magazine carrying the aforementioned ad from all its flights and issued an apology for the damaging remarks. Alas! Too late!
The comment did catch the attention of several Bollywood artistes who openly expressed their anger against the racist ad carried by the airline's magazine.
Rishi Kapoor has tweeted, 'We,Indians and Pakistanis need to sue Air China for maligning us.Chinatown, Gerrard Street,London W1 never safe.'
Farhan Akhtar seconded the veteran actor, saying, 'WTF..!!! #AirChina.. Really????'
Arjun Kapoor also joined the fray, saying, 'These people deserved to be punished for such offensive point of views being fed to the general public !!!'
