Air China has been forced to remove all copies of this month’s in-flight magazine following outrage over the blatant racism of an article about areas in London.
Here’s what they actually though was OK to publish, the jokers:

If you can’t read that, it says:
London is generally a safe place to travel, however precautions are needed when entering areas mainly populated by Indians, Pakistanis and black people. We advise tourists not to go out alone at night, and females always to be accompanied by another person when travelling.”
Just something they thought everyone should know, I guess? When you’re in London watch out for those Indians, Pakistanis and black people. Cheers for the tip Air China. I wonder if they’re actually confused over the backlash and wondering why people aren’t grateful for the advice instead.
#AirChina has warned tourists not to go to multicultural parts of London. How racist, we have some of the most diverse crime in the world.

No one does casual racism like the Chinese, as we learnt from this laundry detergent advert earlier this year.
