A US diplomat and his wife who were expelled from India have caused a furor in the media after their racist comments went viral. Regularly mocking the Indian lifestyle, they once suggested vegetarians are responsible for a wave of violence and rapes.
The Times of India reproduced the comments made by Wayne May, who headed the security team at the US embassy in New Delhi, and his wife, Alicia Muller, who worked as a community liaison officer. The paper noted the irony of her role given the comments.
May’s expulsion was part of a tit-for-tat eviction of diplomats. The exchange was made after escalating tensions which stemmed from the “humiliating” arrest of Indian diplomat, Devyani Khobragade. She stood accused of visa fraud and making false statements on payments, and was then subjected to strip searches and a humiliating cavity search, which India’s foreign minister vehemently denounced. She was asked to leave the US last week.
The US diplomatic couple was effectively deported last week by Indian authorities, but their outrageous comments made during their stay only recently went viral. Full story...
