Air China Warns Its Passengers To Stay Away From Indians And Black People In Its Magazine
We had seen many situations and incidents where Asians and Brown people face racism abroad. It is not uncommon to hear racism on the people from Asian countries. It is shocking to see them indulge in subtle racism themselves.
Air China had made rude comments against Indians and black people. People who boarded a flight on Air China read in-flight magazine ‘Wings of China’ in which there were racist comments against Brown and Black people.
The magazine read its safety precautions as below:
‘London is generally a safe place to travel, however, precautions are needed when entering areas mainly populated by Indians, Pakistanis, and black people.’

A Chinese journalist Haze Fan brought it to the world’s attention with her tweet where you can see the “tip” Air China gives its passengers.
The safety precaution is very satirical because London’s Mayor Sadiq Khan is a man of Pakistani descent. This is not the first time the Chinese have portrayed racism.
The journalist’s tweet went viral on Twitter and the Indians lashed out with their anger:
Fuck you Air China. pic.twitter.com/tsNpYSKI3X

For a country that doesn’t even have democracy China sure has lots of words to say about other countries https://t.co/tXu6kuwA5R
