US diplomats in India: "It's the vegetarians that are doing the raping, not the meat eaters."
An American couple apparently didn’t master the art of handling delicate matters when they moved to India about a few years ago to work in the U.S. Embassy. The Americans — who were expelled from India as retaliation for the United States deporting Indian envoy Devyani Khobragade — openly mocked their host country for its customs and poverty, The Times of India reported.
Wayne May, head of security for the U.S. Embassy in New Delhi, and his wife, Alicia Muller May, the embassy’s community liaison officer, posted embarrassing comments about India on social media, calling it “bizarre” and a “zoo,” during their three-year stint there. The wife, 54, wrote in one disturbing Facebook post that Indian vegetarians were behind the sexual assaults plaguing the country.
"It's the vegetarians that are doing the raping, not the meat eaters. This place is just so bizarre," Alicia Muller May wrote in 2012, according to the Times. "Applies only to Indians, not westerners!” she added.
Wayne May, who was slated to end his post in February, posted offensive musings and photos about cattle, which Hindus consider sacred.
“No eating the sacred cows,” he wrote in June 2010, adding, “One week in country and I already miss steak.”
His meat-starved wife agreed, writing a few months later, “Had real American Hamburgers for dinner last night. A friend smuggled them in his suitcase.”
