A 50- something year old white woman arrived at her seat on a crowded flight and
immediately didn't want the seat. The seat was next to a black man.
Disgusted, the woman immediately summoned the flight attendant and
demanded a new seat.
The woman said "I cannot sit here next to this
black man."
The fight attendant said "Let me see if I can find another
seat." After checking, the flight attendant returned and stated "Ma'am,
there are no more seats in economy, but I will check with the captain
and see if there is something in first class."
About 10 minutes went by
and the flight attendant returned and stated "The captain has confirmed
that there are no more seats in economy, but there is one in first
class. It is our company policy to never move a person from economy to
first class, but being that it would be some sort of scandal to force a
person to sit next to an UNPLEASANT person, the captain agreed to make
the switch to first class." Before the woman could say anything, the
attendant gestured to the black man and said, "Therefore sir, if you
would so kindly retrieve your personal items, we would like to move you
to the comfort of first class as the captain doesn't want you to sit
next to an unpleasant person."
Passengers in the seats nearby began to
applause while some gave a standing ovation.
