yup, read this page....especially the 3rd example down, and then the explanation at the bottom of the examples. This story has evolved over the years.

Still an awesome story, even though we have no idea if it ever actually happened...

Am I the only person who read it as a story with a point, and not intending to be a real account of an actual event?

Just got this on my FB:

A 50-something year old white woman arrived at her seat and saw that the passenger next to her was a black man.

Visibly furious, she called the air hostess.

"What's the problem, ma?" the hostess asked her

"Can't you see?" the lady said - "I was given a seat next to a black man. I can't seat here next to him. You have to change my seat"

- "Please, calm down, ma" - said the hostess "Unfortunately, all the seats are occupied, but I'm still going to check if we have any."

The hostess left and returned some minutes later.

"Madam, as I told you, there isn't any empty seat in this class- economy class. But I spoke to the captain and he confirmed that there isn't any empty seats in the economy class. We only have seats in the first class."

And before the woman said anything, the hostess continued

"Look, it is unusual for our company to allow a passenger from the economy class change to the first class. However, given the circumstances, the commandant thinks that it would be a scandal to make a passenger travel sat next to an unpleasant person."

And turning to the black man, the hostess said:

"Which means, Sir, if you would be so nice to pack your handbag, we have reserved you a seat in the first class..."

And all the passengers nearby, who were shocked to see the scene started applauding, some standing on their feet."

SHARE IF YOU ARE AGAINST RACISM!

See it just don't pay to be UGLY! GOD Don't look UGLY NO SIR NO SIR! :drinker: :flowerforyou: :noway: :laugh:

Awesome. People need to realize that is not acceptable anymore.

This is actually a very sad story. Sad that this sort of thought and behavior still exists.

Oh, what was the point? "Racism is bad"? To me this is another example of a self-congratulatory story made up to make us feel superior to people like the imaginary woman. So we can pat ourselves on the backs and feel that we've conquered that whole racism thing, so we don't have to do anything else about it.
