>if people don't want parts of London to resemble Delhi,

Well, there you have it. These people always shoot themselves in the foot.

The other guy thought I was Indian and told me about how "weak" it is only one response later as well. Interesting, I suppose Indians are currently the most socially acceptable to be racist towards.

If someone criticizes Delhi and your mind jumps to people's skin color--instead of literally everything else about the city--then you're the racist.

None of the Indians (or Pakistanis and Bangladeshis) living in London want parts of London to resemble Delhi. They left their families and homeland behind to get away from Delhi and places like it.

Hmm American spelling and a low effort attempt at DARVO.

So let's just cut through the noise. You obviously picked Delhi and the other guy picked India out of everything else and this is clearly not a coincidence. And there are certainly worse places.

My guess is the Henry Nowak case has recently made it more socially acceptable to be racist towards Indians.

Of course it's not a coincidence. India simply is the largest and most well-recognized example of third-world disorder and dysfunction. It's the second largest country in the world and the single largest source of immigrants to the U.K. Other places are worse--for example, Dhaka--but a random person on the Internet is much more likely to have seen pictures of Delhi than Dhaka.
