Ivanka Trump draws derision in India for praising migrant's hard journey home - Reuters
NEW DELHI (Reuters) - U.S. presidential adviser Ivanka Trump’s praise of an Indian teenager’s bicycle ride home hundreds of kilometres away is drawing criticism in India for being insensitive to the plight of impoverished migrant workers struggling in a lockdown.
The girl carried her father on the back of her bicycle for about a week for 1,200 km (750 miles), the two said on Saturday, one of the many out-of-work migrant families leaving the big cities for their homes in other parts of India because the shutdown has sapped their savings.
===========================================================
No one has ever accused Ivanka of being overly sensitive, especially toward poor foreigners with dark skin.
