A Canadian official touring India condemns some remarks from an informed person without showing the slightest interest in whether the remarks are true or not:
"Skip Bassford, president of University College of Fraser Valley, was part of a Canadian delegation looking for ways to increase international student enrolment.
While there, he says he met a Canadian immigration officer who claimed that India's Punjab region has a high number of criminals, serious problems with human trafficking and that residents from the area file a lot of bogus applications to come to Canada.
"I don't know if I can go so far as to say [the comments] were racist. They were certainly inappropriate and probably a bit, in the context, insensitive," said Bassford.
