Chinese Airline Gives Ridiculously Racist Advice For People Travelling To London

When travelling to London, there's plenty of advice that anyone could give you.

For me, the best advice I could give is: avoid going frequently. It's busy, there's too many people, it's expensive and the tube makes you sweat like a rugby player's arse crack. But that's just me.

Across the world, though, there are plenty of other tips that people give.

Take Air China, for example, China's flagship airline. In an in-flight magazine called 'Wings of China', published by the airline, their advice turned out to be highly racist. So racist, in fact, that it begs the question whether it's a translation error, or high-level shithousery.

Under the heading 'Tips from Air China', it says: "London is generally a safe place to travel, however, precautions are needed when entering areas mainly populated by Indians, Pakistanis and black people.

"We advise tourists not to go out alone at night, and females always to be accompanied by another person when traveling."

It's really odd to think that this would ever be written by someone, let alone published.

The picture was taken by CNBC journalist Haze Fan, who tweeted Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, asking his thoughts on the matter.

Surely this is a huge error?
