____ Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 It's exactly that, she's discrimating only because of skin colour. He'd done absoluting nothing to offend her other than being born with dark skin. Now if he was a fat slob sitting there sweating and smelling rank - i could understand the request for another seat. But her reasons are just screaming racist. While I might not have a great like for certain races I'm not about to get moved unless they start pissing me off through their behaviour. Her "right to move" as you call it, is pathetic abuse of the system. The airline stewards noticed this and so left her in coach and let the obvious victim into first class.

Ok thats a good point and I agree with you BUT (theres always a but) if she doesnt like someone because of their skin colour its not exactly bad. Being a 'racist' in that sense isnt as bad as fellow tip.iters make it out to be, its just her opinion. Racism obviously only gets out of hand if people physically and verbally abused because of their colour. Her merely walking away from the black person is certainly not a cause for concern. And no lol why do you always want to get stuff from John Lewis. Its over ̣̉300 more then than what i paid. John Lewis is a great, great shop.

Bubsa Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 Her heritage is being insulted because of the colour of the man's skin? How is that not racist again? The way I see it is: The woman is discriminating the man as she is insinuating that the colour of the man's skin is an insult to her, completely disregarding who or what this man actually is. If that's not racial discrimination mate, I don't know what is. This is how much you all raised for charity. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete_the_Viscous Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 Whether or not it's bad that she doesn't like black people, think how you would feel if someone were to do that to you, whatever your hue. I don't think it's a question of how racist she was in not liking black people, but rather about how nasty it would be to make a scene like that about someone, based on something they cannot help (not that I wish to suggest that being black is something one should want to help, of course). deviantart account Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that's not racial discrimination mate, I don't know what is. I have reconsidered. Her heritage being disgraced is a statement not backed up with any information or reasoning other than the mans skin is black which is just plain ridiculous.

apinagez Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 Then again, why is the black man getting advantages over his skin tone considered fair?

Giordano Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 Her Heritage was a Southern plantation owner and got broke by the Civil War. "The cry of the poor is not always just, but if you never hear it you'll never know what justice is." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kryptic Posted May 18, 2006 Author Share Posted May 18, 2006 Then again, why is the black man getting advantages over his skin tone considered fair? Wouldn't that be reverse racism? No its not, the black man doesnt have any racism in his blood. He doesn't hate her for her skin, he hates her simply because she hates him! The way the attendent treated her was fair too, because its a message for her and sets a presedent (sp).

He got the advantage because he was a nice, not racist person, not because he was black. The lady was not nice and was racist, so she didn't get the advantage.

He didn't get the advantage because he was nice, he got it because of she not being. He was just standing there and, if he was white, he wouldn't get a better seat. I don't think it was fair that she kept her place without the black man to "injure her heritage" and he got a better place. Both got what they wanted, instead, the lady should be penalized and kicked from the flight, and the man was supposed to stay on the seat he bought. ^The most disturbing signature on Tip.it^Last.fm|HELLY KAYLA!|Oh the mehagurtz!|#Siencemakers"they care less about their spelling mistakes then I." - Lionheart"apinagez... let me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She didn't upgrade him because he was black, she upgraded him to spite the racist white lady. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now imagine that same attittude on other enviroments, like companies, universities and any competitive situations. That would be an unfair advantage, pretty much the same (or worse, because it would be politically correct attittude to take) as the white have gotten for the last hundreds of years, which is considered racism.

Get my point? if he wasnt black, he wouldnt have been upgraded, because the story wouldnt mean anything. the story is moot if he isnt a different race. and you are talking about affirmative action, which is in effect.

hurl Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 What a [bleep], reminds me of when I went snowboarding up in whistler and I got in line for the chair lift first then this skier comes and stands next to me when I was about to get on the lift. She said "sorry I don't ride chair lifts with boarders" so they made her go back to the end of the line. :? 123 Combat / 1900 Skill Total / 99 HP / 7x 99 Stats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
