    Not the pilots (or crews) fault that the shipping company puts so little effort into maintenance or quality standards that their shit literally stalls and dies in port

      A brige in Baltimore collapses because of a ship colliding, with most of it's crew being Indians and Sri Lankans. Conservatives, being the barbaric creatures that lack brain-cell, called it a terrorist attack. The hate against Indians skyrocketed on social media, especially Twitter and Reddit.

      There were a lot of AI generated memes with boats leaving behind a trail of shit, brown people with shit in their hands, and a brown dude being held by a bunch of white dudes wearing a hazmat suit cuz he was being gestured to shit in the toilet and not the street.

      And a lot of paj**t and p*ki slurs, as well as lot of conspiracy theory about how these immigrants want to rape and genocide the whites in America.

        News outlets made it worse. I read three articles and all three suggestively mentioned the Indian crew but none mentioned non-Indian captains.

        They also mentioned the SOS call and power failure so I assumed it was a maintenance problem, not necessarily a people problem.

          which three articles were those?
