You Indians make me laugh man

Why don't you quickly run and tell Cathay and Emirates and all the other serious expat airlines how at risk they are, how they need to quickly sack all their expats and replace them with Indians in order to improve their safety standards

Now seriously, if I was a journalist for a proper newspaper like the Times or the Sydney Morning Herald or in fact any journalist in a first world country, and I wanted to cause some trouble, if I went back into all the lists of incident reports for a few years until I had enough reports to write an article pointing out all the incidents of woman pilots, or black pilots, or Indian pilots, or Muslim pilots, or whatever, and demanding that they all be removed from their jobs, it would be easy to do. However you can be very sure that about 10 seconds after the article was published I would be absolutely crucified by the political-correctness police, and would lose my job overnight and never work as a reporter ever again.

But in India ... it seems nobody bats an eyelid when blatantly unresearched racism / sexism / minority bashing / whatever, gets front page news. That is not news my friend ... that newspaper article is not so much an indictment of how bad expat pilots are, as it is how bad Indian journalists are.

Then again ... in India it also seems that nobody cares when millions of women and children and your most vulnerable citizens are living in cardboard boxes and sh!tting on the streets and dying from starvation and diseases, while their big industrialists and cricket stars are living next door in huge mansions counting their billions. But that's all right ... lets keep on writing trash newspaper articles blaming the "expats"
