Black and white
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 seats on
this flight are taken. I will go to see if
another seat is available.' The Hostess went away and came
back a few minutes later. 'Madam, just as I
thought, there are no other available seats in
Economy class. I spoke to the Captain and he
informed me that there are also no seats in
the Business class. All the same, we still
have one seat in First class.' Before the woman could reply,
the Hostess continued: 'It is unusual for our
company to permit someone from Economy class
to sit in 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.
