Reverse racism

| Sheelaah User Info... | As we know, we see discrimination in some form or another almost everyday and often it leaves a sour taste in our mouths. The following story shows us the side of diversity that we are all working for. Enjoy reading the positive side of diversity. We must applaud British Airways for their action in this situation. On a British Airways flight from Johannesburg, a middle-aged, well-off white South African Lady has found herself sitting next to a black man. She calls the cabin crew attendant over to complain about her seating. "What seems to be the problem Madam?" asks the attendant. "Can't you see?" she says. "You've sat me next to a kaffir. I can't possibly sit next to this disgusting human. Find me another seat!" "Please calm down Madam." the stewardess replies. "The flight is very full today, but I'll tell you what I'll do. I'll go and check to see if we have any seats available in club or first class." The woman cocks a snooty look at the outraged black man beside her (not to mention many of the surrounding passengers). A few minutes later the stewardess returns with the good news, which she delivers to the lady, who cannot help but look at the people around her with a smug and self satisfied grin. "Madam, unfortunately, as I suspected, economy is full. I've spoken to the cabin services director, and club is also full. However, we do have one seat in first class." Before the lady has a chance to answer, the stewardess continues......... "It is most extraordinary to make this kind of upgrade, however, and I have had to get special permission from the captain. But, given the circumstances, the captain felt that it is outrageous that someone be forced to sit next to such an obnoxious person." With that, she turns to the black man sitting next to the woman, and says... "So if you'd like to get your things, Sir, I have your seat ready for you..." At which point, apparently the surrounding passengers stood and gave a standing ovation while the black guy walked up to the front of the plane. - Sat, 5 Jul 2003 10:50pm | ||

| wronskian User Info... | the term "reverse racism" makes no sense . . . descrimination against anyone because of their race, whatever their race may be, is just racism. - Sun, 6 Jul 2003 1:17am | ||

| Sheelaah User Info... | Wasn't looking to debate, just thought that it was comical, regardless of the heading. - Sun, 6 Jul 2003 10:26am | ||
