Racial Slur
The following scene took place on a BA flight between Johannesburg and
London.
This is a true story.
A White woman, about 50 years old, was seated next to a Black man. Obviously
disturbed by this, she called the air Hostess. "Madam, what is the matter,"
the Hostess asked. "You obviously do not see it then?" she responded. "You
placed me next to a Black man. I do not agree to sit next to someone from
such a repugnant group. Give me an alternative seat." "Be calm please," the
Hostess replied. "Almost all the places on this flight are taken. I will go
to see if another seat is available." The Hostess went away and then came
back a few minutes later.
"Madam, just as I thought, there are no other available seats in the Economy
class. I spoke to the Captain and he informed me that there is also no seats
in the Business class. All the same, we still have one seat in the First
class."
Before the woman could say anything, the Hostess continued: "It is not usual
for our company to permit someone from the Economy class to sit in the First
class. However, given the circumstances, the Captain feels that it would be
scandalous to make someone sit next to someone so disgusting." She turned to
the Black guy, and said, "Therefore, Sir, if you would like to, please
collect your hand luggage, a seat awaits you in First class."
At that moment, the other passengers who were shocked by what they had just
witnessed stood up and applauded.
