Africans complain of discrimination in Mumbai, India


Sheeba Rani has been ostracised by many friends and relatives for marrying Nigerian Sambo Davis

Africans staying in and around India's commercial capital, Mumbai (Bombay), complain of indiscriminate racism and constant police harassment, reports the BBC's Zubair Ahmed.

Nigerian Sambo Davis is married to an Indian woman and lives in Mumbai.

All his documents are valid, but he was arrested by the police recently on suspicion of being a drug dealer.

He and 30 other black Africans were detained for hours before they were let off with an apology.

But the following day, Mr Davis said that he was shocked to read in local newspapers that they were "arrested for drug peddling".

"The police treat us Africans like dogs," he says.

Mr Davis claims he often faces discrimination when he goes to restaurants or when he tries to rent an apartment in gated middle-class communities.

But he is nevertheless one of the lucky ones. He found a decent flat to rent, thanks to his Indian wife.

But his fellow countrymen, he says, still face discrimination: "When they go to rent flats in a normal building they are told - 'you are a black man, you are Nigerian, and you are not wanted'. This is racism."

Nobody likes Africans.
Only surprising thing is, that they still find it surprising.

You should see how the Chinese treat them. Sick X.X

I think WWIII will be mostly Racial Motivated.

I always used to think we need to nuke India and China to minimize the numbers of Humans, just Childish thinking.

look how Indians are treated in Australia, and most Indians have High Self-hate.

Once you've had experiences with North American blacks, you tend to like Africans. They're a lot nicer. Seriously, send some NWBs to India and they'll all be like "Thank God you're African and not one of THEM!" after that.

Even Africans don't like them.

How are they treated in Australia? In the UK they're treated pretty well.

All they seem to do is whine. Can someone actually offend a white person?

Blacks complain about everything.

The non-white people should all mix among themselves, good riddance.
