    Justice for Yannik
    Justice for the African student attacked in India. It’s time for the authorities to wake up.

    Yannick deserves the same support that attacked international students in the West recieve, such as Anuj Bidve.
    The Indian authorities need to wake up and stop being hypocrites.

    Thanks guys.

    Is there a lot of racism in India against the oriental-looking Indians in the North East?

    I don't live there. I guess so but I don't know. I have witnessed 5 oriental-looking people in the media (one a contestant in a show, a indian idol contestant who won, a soccer player who was a contestant in a show, and a Indian Idol - haha I don't watch that stuff anymore but yeah pretty sure this is it - contestant/dentist/actor, and another indian idol contestant who won).

    Last time I went to India - I did see a few in tv ads probably because they were light skinned (racist itself - yep and looking at you too 'fair and lovely').

    But it can also be states vs states etc.

    I don't really understand why someone would feel immense hatred for someone who has done nothing to them but looks different(etc). Those racist people are disgusting.
