Viral Video: A clip of a woman from Patna, India, filming a former classmate and making fun of him has become very popular online. The male subject in this video previously received numerous accolades for his academic achievements but is now 30 years old and works as a Domino’s pizza deliverer. In spite of being mocked, he remains composed and highlights the integrity associated with working for your wages.
Public Reaction
Quickly, users of social networks had a very strong view about what happened. Everyone agreed that the woman had behaved inappropriately, and many found her use of personal insult unacceptable. Conversely, most found that the man demonstrated grace and humility, with many noting double standards in how men and women are perceived and treated when they experience difficulty; e.g., the man was ridiculed for being a lawyer, a profession he had in the past.
Societal Stigma Around Blue-Collar Jobs
This event serves as a recurring theme within India, as there is an underappreciation for blue-collar roles. Job positions such as delivery personnel and other jobs within this field of work are paramount to the economy, however, they also come with an unjustified stigma attached to them. Viral articles such as this one provide social dialogue around the need for empathy and respect for everyone struggling financially.
Calls for Empathy and Understanding:
Over 50 comments under the video condemned the mockery and celebrated the man’s resilience. While the identities of those involved haven’t been officially verified, the story highlights the importance of treating all professions with dignity, regardless of societal expectations.
