Professor Beck-Sickinger told BuzzFeed India that her email was “taken out of context.”
On Monday, this Quora post claimed that an Indian male student was denied an internship by a German professor, because of the "rape problem in India."
The student's friend uploaded screenshots of the emails from professor Annette G. Beck-Sickinger from Leipzig University.

The rejected student then emailed the professor and uploaded her reply.

"Unfortunately this mail was a complete misunderstanding. Of course, I have nothing against male Indians, and I have accepted several Indian students in the past. However my lab is full and I currently cannot take any student. This led to an unpleasant discussion with one of the Indian student.
I apologise if this caused any misunderstanding, but the e-mail was taken out context."
