The report from the Guardian says that “Andaman Islanders ‘forced to dance’ for tourists” but I don’t see any forcing going on here. Unless I’m missing details about this that aren’t present below, it seems to me that any outrage over this is due to guilty-racism (the type of racism a person has but feels guilty about). If these were poor Russian boys and girls dressed in their regional garb dancing for tourists I don’t think there would be any outrage.
The Jarawa tribe have lived in peace in the Andaman Islands for thousands of years. Now tour companies run safaris through their jungle every day and wealthy tourists pay police to make the women – usually naked – dance for their amusement. This footage, filmed by a tourist, shows Jarawa women being told to dance by an off-camera police officer
