An American couple apparently didn’t master the art of handling delicate matters when they moved to India about a few years ago to work in the U.S. Embassy. The Americans — who were expelled from India as retaliation for the United States deporting Indian envoy Devyani Khobragade — openly mocked their host country for its customs and poverty, The Times of India reported.
Wayne May, head of security for the U.S. Embassy in New Delhi, and his wife, Alicia Muller May, the embassy’s community liaison officer, posted embarrassing comments about India on social media, calling it “bizarre” and a “zoo,” during their three-year stint there. The wife, 54, wrote in one disturbing Facebook post that Indian vegetarians were behind the sexual assaults plaguing the country.
"It's the vegetarians that are doing the raping, not the meat eaters. This place is just so bizarre," Alicia Muller May wrote in 2012, according to the Times. "Applies only to Indians, not westerners!” she added.
Wayne May, who was slated to end his post in February, posted offensive musings and photos about cattle, which Hindus consider sacred.
“No eating the sacred cows,” he wrote in June 2010, adding, “One week in country and I already miss steak.”
His meat-starved wife agreed, writing a few months later, “Had real American Hamburgers for dinner last night. A friend smuggled them in his suitcase.”

How undiplomatic of them.

Over three years, the pair regularly mocked India’s poverty and the increasing violence that took place in the country.

Alicia Muller May, in what looks like a happier time during her stay in India.
His meat-starved wife agreed, writing a few months later, “Had real American Hamburgers for dinner last night. A friend smuggled them in his suitcase.”
The Facebook pages of the Virginia couple were disabled Wednesday afternoon.
The State Department did not name the offending employees, but The Times revealed their identities Monday.
“These social media posts are as offensive as they are moronic, and are in no way a reflection of United States policy or the dedicated employees of the State Department,” said a spokesman for Rep. Eliot Engel (D-Bronx), ranking member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee. “That said, mistakes were made on both sides regarding the Khobragade incident, but with the reciprocal expulsions, hopefully India and the U.S. can now find a way to move the relationship forward.”
The Indian government deported the Mays after tensions escalated with the U.S. over Khobragade, who worked for the Indian Consulate in New York. She was accused of exploiting her maid by forcing her to work 100 hours a week for meager pay.
