A viral post on X by a British woman has sparked strong reactions after she criticised Indian and Asian staff at Heathrow Airport for not speaking in English.
In the post, Lucy White (@LucyJayneWhite1) wrote that after landing at London Heathrow, she noticed most of the airport staff were of Indian or Asian origin. She claimed they were not speaking "a word of English".
She said she told them, “Speak English,” to which the staff replied, “You’re being racist.” Lucy then added, “They know I’m right, so they have to use the race card.”
She ended her post by saying, “Deport them all,” and questioned why such workers were at the UK’s main point of entry.
Her comments quickly went viral and received thousands of replies and reposts.
