Lucy White, a British woman and self-described Public Policy Specialist, sparked outrage online after complaining that Marks & Spencer staff at Heathrow Airport were speaking Hindi. In a now-viral X post, she wrote that she recorded their conversation and intended to report them, urging others to “confront” such behavior. Her remarks were widely condemned as discriminatory, with users questioning why private conversations in Hindi were an issue. Many pointed out the double standards, citing their own experiences of speaking native languages abroad. White had earlier stirred controversy with similar complaints about Heathrow staff not speaking English. (PC: India Today)
