FIGHT AGAINST RACISM
Scene took place on a BA (British Airways) flight between
Johannesburg and London.
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."
"Please stay calm," the hostess replied. "Almost all the seats
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 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 guy, 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.
This is a true story.
