Just a reminder that it's not just Middle Eastern channels which orchestrate racism against us (e.g. Al Jazeera posting videos of that "poop festival" from that one village, and lying that it's how Indians celebrate Diwali). Western outlets do the same thing, and have done so for years.

**Important Context** : the woman in the picture seemingly didn't write this article. She actually said she loved India a lot. However, as usual, the BBC has to try and stir up racism to satisfy their backwards audience and drive up revenue.

Anyway, here's what actually happened, having read the article myself:

The woman did get tapeworms in her brain, which is shocking for sure. However, they have no idea how this happened. Her doctor suggested it was from her trip to India many years ago.

That's about it.

They have no real evidence to support the claim. In fact, she purposefully avoided meat while in India, which makes it seem even more unlikely. Apparently, she may have inadvertently eaten some pork. So it is possible.

The article itself is mostly about her tapeworms and what she went through as a result (pretty hectic ngl).

However, BBC framing this article as being a problem related to India - rather than framing it as being related to her ordeal - is pretty scummy. They're well aware that this headline they've chosen will encourage racism against Indians, but they're clearly all for it.

For the record, whether or not she got it from India isn't the issue. It's the problem with how they're framing this (i.e. the headline).

This is **especially** ridiculous considering the fact that they have no clue how she got these tapeworms in her brain.

She didn't even see a tapeworm until 3 years after her trip to India (came out in the toilet). And one year after this, she began having seizures and other issues related to the tapeworms.

It seems incredibly disingenuous to throw India under the bus, especially considering the racism Indians are facing in the UK. The many racially-motivated rapes and assaults on Indians are ongoing and underreported in the media. They're well aware that Indophobia is the cause of this, but they *consistently* choose to contribute to it.

Not unexpected from the BBC, given their hatred of India, but disappointing nonetheless.

So, there's a recent lawsuit, where an Indian-origin employee at JP Morgan is suing his white boss for sexual abuse, rape, etc. If you look it up on Reddit, there are only four groups of people:

1.People saying it's fabricated because JPMorgan said so.

2.People saying it's fabircated because the man is ugly (he doesn't look ugly to me) and the woman is hot (she doesn't look hot to me).

3.The most common reaction is just memes, most of which are extremely racist.

4.Memes which aren't overtly racist are memes where guys are salivating at the thought of being raped.

There's also an **enormous** amount of racist AI content. Also, weirdly, I notice that they make the guy look completely different in the AI videos, but the woman look exactly the same.

To be clear, I'm not taking anyone's side in this case. But I'm just focusing on the, frankly, disgusting reaction by everyone on the internet.

Screenshots for context. I didn't even send any of the AI videos. If you want to see what I'm talking about, it's not hard to find.
