US Professor Slammed For Being Racist Against ‘Brahmin Women’ & Calling India A ‘Shith*le’
[ad_1]
We often idolise western nations for their liberal policies and plenty of opportunities, and we end up idolising them uncritically. We admire them even when we’re merely discussing their heritage, a higher standard of living, or even enjoying Hollywood films that give us a peek of their country; there’s a part of us that is drawn to what we see.
One would assume that this is the same level of inquiry or respect that we would receive from folks in the west, especially from the well-informed and educated people, but it appears that they have some extremely racist things to say about us. They not only don’t care about us; what we have done for their country but also hate our country’s heritage from the core.
A controversial US law professor has generated uproar once again for her bigoted remarks against immigrants and refugees, this time focusing on Indians.
Amy Wax, a University of Pennsylvania law professor, made some very nasty statements about immigrants and India in a recent Fox interview with political analyst Tucker Carlson, referring to our country as a “shithole” and attacking immigrants for being critical of the US. During a segment on Tucker Carlson’s show, she said that “Blacks” and other “non-western” groups had “resentment, shame, and envy” over western people for their “outsized achievements and contributions.”
Wax, also a neurologist by profession, then went on to criticise Indian immigrants, claiming that they were critical of everything in the United States while “their own country is a sh**hole.” Wax chastised Asians and South Asians, notably Indian doctors at Penn Medicine, who she described as “on the ramparts for the antiracism initiative to dump on America.”
The 69-year-old professor also singled out Indian Brahmin ladies in the audience by saying,
“Here’s the problem. They (Brahmin women from India) are taught that they are better than everybody else because they are Brahmin elites and yet, on some level, their country is a sh**hole. “They’ve realised that we’ve outgunned and outclassed them in every way… They feel anger. They feel envy. They feel shame… It creates ingratitude of the most monstrous kind.”
Penn Law Professor Amy Wax attacks Indian immigrants in United States, says “at some level their country (India) is a shithole”. When will these disgusting illiterate racists stop exposing themselves?

It’s ironic that in between saying these things, she forgot that it is immigrants who are driving their economy. At least, she should say a simple thanks to these immigrants and respect them for what they had done for their country.
It’s not only about India, no country can attack any legal immigrant like this. It is true that some countries like the USA have lots of opportunities but they themselves give these opportunities to other countries’ citizens. We are not begging for any opportunity. Immigrants got that opportunity because they deserved it. They worked tirelessly for other’s countries to make it a hit. If she doesn’t want to give respect, at least she should shut her mouth.
People on Twitter were outraged with her comments and slammed Wax for her xenophobic statements
America the land of opportunities thrives on Indian talent,instead of making Racist America great, its better to work for your own country. Brain drain is India’s biggest problem.

I think the “shit hole” comment was uncalled for as it generalizes all Indians and India,but her larger point about “wokesim”by elite Indians who made it there is correct, me thinks. There are number of those people on the coasts who also diss India @kushal_mehra @harshmadhusudan

1. Let’s accept it. India has great people, but we lack great institutions
2. We know that many no. of Americans are racists
3. There’s new trend in USA to keep talking about “brahmin” privilege. They understand nth on the subject, but keep bringing it up to divide us.— Alpesh Patel (@alpeshtwitting) April 12, 2022
When those people become citizens / PRs / residents of the US or Canada, they get the right to criticize the system or country.
They have as equal rights to do that as any American or Canadian born white person. Those people are not second-class citizens. #colonialslavemindset 🤦— The Physiotherapist (@parthphysio) April 12, 2022
Clueless white skin attacking Brahmins. Wonder if she would even know how to spell Brahmin let alone know what they stand for.
And she is from a country that attacks other countries at will and engineers ‘regime changes’ to suit their greed!— Moral Victory 🇮🇳 (@lakshmianand96) April 12, 2022
How does she know who is Brahmin, who is not? Is she referring to the intelligent lot that comes into the US and assumes they are Brahmin? Interesting…

Looks like they have started falsely appropriating the word ‘brahmin’ just like they did with ‘guru’ and ‘pundit’
— प्रत्यूष नायगांवकर (@prat_2004) April 12, 2022
This is how they think about Indians & we feel proud when an Indian become CEO in a American company.

A topic that was also posed to her during a podcast interview, during which she made even more obnoxious and racist remarks, which led to a discussion about her being dismissed despite being an appointed professor at the University of Pennsylvania.
And the thing about all brahmin women which she said is totally unaccepted. We know there are some problems in our country, but that’s our problem and we are already trying to solve it. But it doesn’t mean anyone can label every Brahmin as same like we didn’t label every American as racist after hearing Wax’s thinking. What she did is also a casteism on a different level and she is no different from those fringe elements who made casteism so prominent in India.

Daylight robbery is not quite usual but it does not strike out the fact that it is highly possible. Many a time cases as such have surfaced online where normal people were robbed in broad daylight. Recently, the passengers in a taxi got robbed inside the Pragati Maidan tunnel in Delhi on Saturday afternoon.
Four men rob taxi passengers at gunpoint in broad daylight and here is what Delhi Police have to say
On Saturday, a delivery agent and his associate were robbed at gunpoint by a group of unknown assailants, stealing around Rs 1.5 to Rs 2 lakh cash from them. In spite of having 16 security guards in the Pragati Tunnel, there were no CCTV cameras installed. Although the Public Works Department assured that cameras are installed, they did not confirm their operational conditions.
The victims made a complaint at Tilak Marg police station later in the evening. The Pragati tunnel is a 1.5 km tunnel that connects New Delhi with Sarai Kale Khan and Noida. The police said that following the complaint made by the victims, a case has been filed under Sections 397 IPC which covers robbery, or dacoity with an attempt to cause death or grievous hurt and 34 (common intention).
The Deputy Commissioner of Police, Pranav Tayal, has shared that the complainant can be identified as Patel Sajan Kumar and his associate Jigar Patel. Patel Sajan works as a delivery agent for a private firm in Chandni Chow and has informed the police that he and Jigar were going to Gurugram to deliver the cash to a client.
As per the registered complaint, the two of them hired an Ola cab from near Red Fort. As soon as the cab entered the Pragati Maidan tunnel from Ring Road, four assailants on two motorcycles surrounded their cab and robbed the cash off them keeping them at gunpoint.
While the police are looking into the matter, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal is not satisfied with the deterioration of public safety needs
As soon as the CCTV footage surfaced, Arvind Kejriwal lashed out at Lieutenant Governor Vinai Kumar Saxena and demanded his resignation from the post.
Kejriwal took to Twitter to share the footage and wrote,
“If Central govt is unable to make Delhi safe, hand it over to us. We will show u how to make a city safe for its citizens”
LG shud resign. Make way for someone who can provide safety n security to the people of Delhi.
If Central govt is unable to make Delhi safe, hand it over to us. We will show u how to make a city safe for its citizens. https://t.co/oPtqnAWlgJ

Delhi Minister Atishi also took to Twitter and slammed the incompetency of the Lieutenant Governor. She tweeted,
LG साहब: अगर आपको @ArvindKejriwal के कामों का क्रेडिट लेने से फ़ुरसत मिले तो कभी अपनी संवैधानिक ज़िम्मेदारी पर भी ध्यान दीजिए। दिल्ली वालों को सुरक्षा देना आपका काम है। और अब दिन दहाड़े दिल्ली में चोरी, डकैती और क़त्ल की वारदातें हो रही हैं। या तो आप सुरक्षा की ज़िम्मेदारी लीजिए,… https://t.co/RG4c9ozWnW

Coming across train service complaints on social media is nothing new. Very often than not we find passengers complaining about bland food or bugs in the cooked food provided to them. Quite recently someone took to Twitter regarding a complaint where they found plastic in the railway food. But the latest thing that happened has actually stunned everyone when a video of the roof of a passenger coach train surfaced online.
Indian Railways slammed over water leakage in AC coach
Netizens have harshly criticized the poor management and maintenance of the train coaches after a surprising video surfaced online. Recently, a video went viral on social media platforms in which it can be clearly seen rainwater seeping in through the roof of the 2-tier AC coach of the Avantika Express. The Congress party also reshared the video uploaded by a passenger and took to Twitter to play the blame game immediately.
The tweet said,
“काश खोखले प्रचार की जगह रेलवे के लिए कुछ काम किया होता। झंडी दिखाने वाले रेल मंत्री अभी विदेश में हैं, नाम वाले रेल मंत्री ध्यान दें। (Wish some actual work would have been done for the Railways in place of empty propaganda. The railway minister who shows the flag is currently abroad, the named railway minister should pay attention)”

It was a jab at the Prime Minister, Narendra Modi, who recently flagged off 11 Vande Bharat Express, the Railways’ newest hi-tech train.
Railways response to the above-mentioned tweet
The Western Railway took to Twitter to respond to that tweet hours later and stated that all the coaches of the Avantika Express train were properly checked.
The tweet read,
“All coaches of Avantika Exp have been checked thoroughly & issue has been attended to promptly. The train has commenced its return journey & there are no such issues now. Passenger convenience is of utmost priority & WR leaves no stone unturned to resolve passengers’ grievances”
