Racism

It is nothing bad when we we Do Ctrl C & Ctrl V for the great post, Thanks for Cernar for posting such a great Mail. I have faced such issues in my life also.


Scene took place on a British Airways flight between Johannesburg

not agree to sit next to someone from such a repugnant group. Give me
an alternative seat." "Be calm please," the hostess replied. "Almost

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 a seat in the business class. All the

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

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
