US Vice-Consul Maureen Chao, going down the memory lane two decades ago when she was a student:
I was on a 24-hour train trip from Delhi to Orissa. But, after 72 hours, the train still did not reach the destination… and my skin became dirty and dark like the Tamilians
This speech was given at an University in Tamil Nadu.
The American Consulate in Chennai has termed these remarks as “inappropriate”. I wonder if a stronger term than “inappropriate” would have been used if she had said “my skin became dirty and dark like my commander-in-chief“!
