Air China magazine London race slur sparks anger

I get the "gist" of what Air China is trying to say in their own awkward Mainland Chinese perception of the world.
The honest question I have though is aren't Indians well off respected people in the UK and other parts of Western Europe? The run ins and things I've heard about Pakis has been that they're typically positive people.
I think it'd be some of those North African sects and Arabs that are stereotyped as the culturally assertive ones to an extreme.

How about who gives a shit if what Air China warned about is biased, racist, xenophobic whatever? Every ethnic group has biases towards other ethnic groups and this idea that everyone needs to quiver in their boots about offending the wrong ethnic groups is what's wrong in Western societies these days. What are we, all SJWs now? Yeah ok, the Chinese are racist towards brown and black people. So fucking what? Indians are prejudiced against Blacks, Blacks hate Mexicans, Mexicans hate gringos, Muslims hate everyone and so on and so on and so on. But hey whatever lets be all PC and butt hurt like this UK minister of political correctness and demand an apology. I'm Indian and I could care less what some Chinese airline has to say about me and my kind. Let them say what they like. I don't think they should apologize for jack shit.

Should be interesting to watch the SJW crowd try & paint the Chinese as the new Nazi's.
(Deservedly or not).

I think the general stereotype of an Indian in Europe is ironically that of a Sikh and Bend It Like Beckham.

Doc Holliday, what is it with the beef between blacks and mexicans? Just trying to get a context and nuance.

Guys, they said "Indian" and "Pakistani" because those countries are right next to China.
Do you really think someone from mainland China can tell the difference between an Indian, Bengali, Algerian, and Pakistani?
They're basically saying South Asian and Arab.
