In reply to the discussion: Four innocent Sikhs were kicked off a plane today because this woman was scared of how they looked. [View all]Honeycombe8
(37,648 posts)42. Thanks. It still doesn't make sense to me.
She's claiming that she's the one that got them kicked off some plane. But there is no evidence that's true. She even says she didn't tell anyone she was scared. No mention of the plane.
Looks like maybe something MAY have happened, and she did a video to become part of the story. She's in the entertainment biz (Newsweek says...never heard of her). She says she was scared, but didn't say what she was scared of.
Even Newsweek states they were "allegedly" kicked off a plane, and that she is taking credit/blame.
Nah...I'm calling this one false.

OP
True ignorance on the woman's part, the plane's crew and anyone that was sitting near enough to hear

She likely has been denied something because of her color. That is the sad part. nt

It would be nice for businesses to escort the scared person off the plane for once.

Exactly. "Oh, you aren't comfortable flying with them? Well, we can accommodate that. Bye!"

And I have seen it posted on this very site that only white people can be prejudiced.
