American Airlines forces black doctor to wear blanket to cover up her "inappropriate" dress

I don’t like Southwest because of the lack of assigned seating.

…The actual fuck?!

And people think I don’t fly due to some sort of “phobia”; oh, no, that’s not it, not even close. Nor will I take a bus for long distance travel ever again. If I wanna be that miserable, I can get someone to kick me in the nuts for free.

No, that actually makes it better. Planes load in less time and with a lot less stress and animosity.

Maybe if you’re not picky about where you sit it’s not a big deal but I don’t like it. I like knowing exactly where I’m going to sit in advance, and I’ll choose flights based on seating options. I refuse to take a middle seat. In my experience it’s always a free for all and I never end up with a good seat.

I was trying to come up with something snarky to say about the pattern, but then I realized that half of my Hawaii side family have the habit of wearing far more garish/colorful patterns on the regular…

That sounds like a line from Henrik freakin’ Ibsen.

Clever though!

The banality of the outfit

To the batheabality of Man’s Cute Prints! Which, Memphis! Is there a faulty code switching of some passenger who said it was ‘too awesome’ which maps to wraparound Service Bigotry, or were the free THC boarding snax with which life here defeated the spontaneous action film getting a little much paranoia going in the Lunch Planner for American?

Fan art? Fan art. I mean, she’s a registered Soccer Striker in all 55 states and in Disdain’d Danes’(nope, Nederlanders;) now.

Trump bailout on that bankruptcy, I’d wager. He might even get naming rights, demanding a gold color scheme, of course.

I can see it now…Trump National Airline, now with more golf destinations!, which would all be Trump golf courses, of courses, of course, Wilbur.

One of the reasons I like it. They have given in to some of the buy your way to the front of the line scams but mostly … Your just humans packed in a flying sardine can.

Good idea for reading material on the train - thanks! :wink:

Easy: The parts not covered by the dress are of the “wrong” color.

Wow, that twitter thread is full of “you’re half naked, have you no shame!” comments, which makes this even more mystifying.

I was trying to find a statement from AA to see if we’re only getting half of the story here, but came up empty. I could maybe see the behavior if she kept slipping out of the top or something, but otherwise it’s a total WTF for me. It’s one of those stories so bizarre that it raises yellow flags that some detail is missing.

Barring any further information the power of deduction suggests that the most likely explanation is that it’s a hella racist flight crew looking for someone to harass. The thing is, this was a flight from Jamaica to Miami. Most of the people on there were probably black and dressed in all manner of attire. Why they singled out this lady is still a mystery.

I love the print. It is happy.
It’s not a dress, though. It’s a top and shorts.
It’s adorable.

Too much dark brown skin - putting myself in the eyes of a corporation, though, that is my guess.
