The scene took place on a British Airways flight

> 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 have placed

> me next

> to 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

> available."

>

> The Hostess went away and then came back a few

> minutes later.

>

> "Madam, just as I thought, there are no other

> no seat

>

> Before the woman could say anything, the hostess

>

> She turned to the black man, and said, "Therefore,

> Sir, if you would

>

> At that moment, the other passengers who were

Well I am not going to get into the politics but why does one assume she was British. I read it that she was a white South African, returning home and the black British man was going out on business.

Then again, everyone puts their slant on things.
