    Attendants on an American Airlines sent an African American woman with a first class ticket to the back of the plane, while alliwing a friend if herd who is white to stay in first class.

    I think the friend was eventually asked to move to, but this is an interesting story. Did racism really occur here? I don't know. In the least it was yet again some horrible airline service.

    Here is what I understand of it. A black woman bought first class tickets for herself and her friend. They boarded the plane. Her friend was allowed to stay in first class, but she was not. She tried asking questions and voicing her frustrations but was ignored. But, her friend asked questions and got clear answers. Later, her friend was asked to leave first class because she was scared of some Muslim guys ( isn't that racist in itself) and now they are both complaining to the airline that the crew was racist towards her.

    Does she fly American Airlines because it has the same initials as African American? Maybe she's racist.

    But seriously, whoever got to choose who to send back is probably racist.

    Wasn't there, don't know

    On No. That was utterly stupid and the idiot that forced her to do that should be canned. Rosa Parks would not like that one bit.
