Recently there was an incident on Air France involving about 60 Indian passengers who filed a complaint of racism against the airline after being treated badly at the Paris airport. Apparently, non-Indian passengers were put up in hotels when a technical mishap occurred, but the Indians were made to wait in the airport lounge without access to water or food for quite some time. I’m so proud of these people for filing a complaint!
I’ve seen similar things happen myself while travelling. People from India, especially who don’t speak English, have been ignored or snubbed while others were well taken care of, and I’m so glad that people are standing up against this kind of racism, so hopefully airlines won’t be able to do it again.
But it got me thinking. It’s so easy to take note of something like racism when it happens to you. But do you notice it as quickly when you do it to others? As Indians, I have to say that on the whole, we’re a fairly racist group of people!
Give these examples a thought:* Most of your parents would rather you bring home a nice Indian boy or girl than a foreigner, right? But in the event that you do fall in love with a foreigner, would it be easier for you if that person were white, rather than black?
* Where else in the world do matrimonial ads place so much importance on the shade of a prospective partner’s skin?
