Beating of African Students by Mob in India Prompts Soul-Searching on Race

[opruh]

is that a common occurrence in India?

It's only Delhi where things like these happen( and I'm from Delhi) . Never heard of such incidents in South India, Bangalore , Mumbai etc. I'll tell you this, Delhiites are probably a shade or two fairer than an average Indian but think they are the best shit around. I'm from this city and I can attest to the fact that you'll meet the most stupid ,arrogant and pompous people in your life here. African students are better off going to cities like Pune, Bangalore , or other cities in South India. Not only do they have much better colleges , but people are much better.

I agree. Dehlites attitudes towards other people is horrible. Act is if they're better than everyone else even though there town is built on Indian tax payer money. And the obsession with lighter skin is absurd in this town and in India. They confuse skin color with financial success!!! Whats that old saying? "if you white, you right"?

I think skin color has nothing to do with it , but its questionable why the Africans folks were attacked

skin color has everything to do with it.

Its called "Mob Justice" you ever heard of stories of what mobs in Mumbai do to pick pocketers? or adulturers? any one that causes social, cultural disobedience? Holy shit, its not skin color! Indians can be darker than africans, its not nationality. White girls get raped in Delhi and so do Indian girls. This is what it is! The media will flaunt it and spin it. But its India. India is racist! But this incident probabily isn't racist if they teased a girl on public transit! You don't do that in public! Thats why rapes happen at night away from mobs! murders etc...
Racism is real, Gujrat riots anyone? Feel like being a muslim in India? Hell even Indian muslims can be racist! try Kashmiris!\
Racist incidents happen, even if your white but the mob shouldn't be fucked with! not in India!

Imagine if thats your sister they were teasing! Mobs are powerful in India. Police cant do shite!

So @Secur when you visited Delhi did you feel any discrimination on the basis of your skin tone ?

I know that when @HRK Bhai went to Delhi they started worshiping him 'cause of his skin tone.....Fair & Lovely ka kamaal !

Indians should not abuse black people for no good reason, but I'm sick and tired of the race card used by black people. Black people in America, Europe, and other parts of the world have a history of being insulting and abusive toward Asians, Middle Easterners, Native Americans, and whites.

I want justice for everyone, not just blacks.

They were involved in teasing/molesting a girl and hence the crowd beat them up.

If Indians had harassed Indian girls, there would be no reaction like this video has shown.

What happened is that Black African Men made moves on Indian women and Indian men couldn't handle that.

Indian Men can't tolerate the sight of Black Men with Indian Women.

Not true
If u harass a girl the mob is going to beat u for sure irrespective of ur nationality or race

This wasn't a racist attack
Mods should change the title,it's misleading

"As India’s prime minister visited the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial with President Obama in Washington on Tuesday, a debate about racism was taking shape in the Indian news media, prompted by video of an angry mob beating three African students in a New Delhi metro station this week."

Absolute disgrace, India so quick to point the finger at other countries and call them racist.

I was present at the place when this happened. these guys were passing lewd comments on a girl in the train , she shouted at them and the rest of the people came and intervened . it happened out side rajiv chowk station. i was on my way to meet another member of PDF @GURU DUTT .
while it was wrong for the mob to beat them , they were not innocent either.

Different people have different beliefs about fashion & beauty, dating, and marriage. If only we could deal with these disagreements in a peaceful manner.
