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

I guess we’ll just rename it White American Airlines.

I know the post mentions she is a doctor to further show that American Airlines was messing with the wrong person… but that shouldn’t matter.

@waetherman

That bothers me too. It’s almost inherently racist to feel the need to say that a black woman is a doctor to justify that she can dress any way she likes.

Etc.

Doctor is especially relevant to air travel because if you’re on a plane and there’s a doctor kicked off it, that doctor was your doctor. Doctors on planes have duties and special privileges, such as immunity from lawsuits.

Sadly, i think that only applies to medical doctors, not you or i.

Oh, I figured…
