To say or not to say: Learning to be social media sensitive
The Rashmi Samant episode focused on seemingly innocent social media posts proving to be ‘racist’ and ‘insensitive’. FPJ writer finds if Indians are prone to make such posts and change our mentality
Digital strategist Jure Klepic stated – “What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas; what happens on Twitter stay on Google forever!” And social media posts can raise its ugly head to bite you back. And Indians are realising this the hard way.
Recently, Rashmi Samant got elected as the President of the Oxford University Student Union. But her social media posts and remarks that went viral were deemed ‘racists’ and ‘insensitive’. These included holocaust reference in a post while visiting the Berlin Holocaust Memorial, her Insta photo in Malaysia that had the caption ‘Ching Chang’ and criticism regarding her campaign post caption separating women and trans women following the University’s LGBTQ+ campaign. She had to step down and later spoke about constant cyber bullying making her return to Oxford a tough task.
