Political correctness in China: Airlines warn to avoid London's ethnic minority areas

Chinese airlines have warned the passengers to avoid areas of London inhabited by Negroes and Pakistanis.

“London is generally a safe place to travel, however precautions are needed when entering areas mainly populated by Indians, Pakistanis and black people." - can be read in the magazine "Wings of China " issued by Air China. This clearly contradicts the promotion of "multicultural" areas of London conducted by the mayor of the British capital Sadiq Khan. Having Pakistani roots himself, the first ever Muslim mayor of London, often writes about his favourite restaurants in the Indo-Pakistani district Tooting.

London is also trying to attract Chinese tourists. Last year, 270,000 of them visited Britain, as much as 46 percent more than in 2014. They spend 586 million pounds, or about 18 percent more than the year before. Controversial warning in the magazine "Air China" is another signal that Chinese companies do not bother with Western canons of political correctness. For example - in May the advertising of Chinese detergent, showed the Chinese woman put a black man to the washing machine and after washing it became Asian man.

Mostly good advice, if a little harsh in its wording - half my family live in London and would agree too.

Behold the fruits of multiculturalism...

Hopefully if the British respond to this it will actually be useful instead of the pathetic "he's wrong, he's always been wrong, he'll always be wrong" answer that David Cameron gave in response to Trump's muslim stance.

But then again hoping for that is hoping pigs fly.

Pitiful that in this day and age common sense is shocking/scary to some. They have a generation indoctrinated and brainwashed now. Where I'm from we call them what they are, which will get some of you Europeans locked up and me banned from MMO champ.

Freaking insanity.

Pretty sure London's ethnic minority areas are safer than, pretty much, any area in China.

A city has bad areas. I'm shocked

As long as you follow shariah

Yeah no.

I love most of the asian countries and their people.

They are down to earth people, practical and realistic. They dont have time nor inclination to speak PC bullshit which is a major relief and refreshing.

It's funny because Chinese tourists are essentially the Florida Man of the world.

And you would be pretty much pulling an opinion out of your arse.

[SupBrah]

Hats off to China

No wonder they're kicking our asses. They use facts and logic while we only care about feels.

That laundry detergent ad though

[Tradewind]

That laundry ad is way more hilarious than I thought Chineses were capable of

Are "facts and logic" why they have a 3rd world quality of life, some of the lowest positions in all freedom rankings, and why they are immigrating to Americas, Europe and Oceania en masse?

[Zathrendar]

Especially that totalitarian government that comes with it.

London and its "elite" have long been angling for one of their own.

China has advanced massively over the past 20 or so years. Its problem is that it follows the same moronic policies that our governments follow, just on a supersized scale. Plus, they are on average a very intelligent population. Nonetheless, it's pretty much the same advice most non-braindead Londoners would give you, even if they'd be secretive about it.

Had a Chinese friend back in grad school. He wasn't the most "PC" guy towards our African (black) students. He was borderline racist.

Sure, but the thing is, it is pretty easy to advance when you are on bottom; now, if they maintain their current advancement rate by the time they reach the UK quality of life (if they ever do), that will be an achievement!

It's a tricky one, as it's not nice for those people to hear.. but at the same time.. true. Hell, I felt safer in the middle east than in some parts of london.

Tooting has a large Asian population, but the majority of people in Tooting are white British, so it is somewhat dubious to call it an Indo-Pakistani district.
