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 place 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 seat in the business class. All the same, we still have one place 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 man 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.
