An American blogger named Colleen was recently traveling across India. However, she had a rather bad experience during her trip to India, which led to her lashing out at all the Indians.
Colleen is a yoga instructor by profession. When she was traveling through Jaipur, she lost her five-month-old iPhone. She took to Instagram to lash out at Indians with a long and elaborate caption. In the caption, she can be seen talking about the poor hospitality of the city.
In her post, she called Indian poor so much that they can’t afford to buy iPhones. It is really offensive and racist to make such statements about the entire country on the basis of one incident. This post soon became viral on social media.
Netizens soon started slamming her brutally for the reasons you already know. After receiving so much flak on her post, she deleted it from her social media handle. However, you can read the post in the screenshots shared down below.

I’m a brown person currently working an iPhone X to type this message. If I met Colleen in real life it would shock her so much that she’d stand up the normal way.
