"Can’t Speak Our Language? Send Them Back…": British Woman Rages at Indian Staff at Airport
A British woman’s post on X has gone viral after she lashed out at Indian and Asian staff at London’s Heathrow Airport, accusing them of not speaking English.
Lucy White (@LucyJayneWhite1) shared that upon arriving at Heathrow, she noticed most staff members appeared to be of Indian or Asian origin and claimed they weren’t speaking “a word of English.” According to her, when she demanded they “Speak English,” the staff accused her of being racist. Lucy dismissed the accusation, saying, “They know I’m right, so they have to use the race card,” and ended her post with the provocative statement, “Deport them all,” questioning why such workers were employed at the UK’s main gateway.
