As some people mentioned, China is the lion’s share of United’s business and said people were speculating that the Chinese would jump to the conclusion that this guy was targeted for his ethnicity.
Well, as fate would have it, I ended up at a Dim Sum place in Chinatown last night at midnight, where they keep a constant satellite feed to Chinese programming. Indeed, the Chinese news stations do not seem amused.

I saw the original tweet (now removed) and a Three Part tweet telling the Internet to back off and that there are TWO SIDES TO EVERY STORY
The Internet was not having it

But revealing the airline’s side of this story only makes people hate them more.

What previous issues? The debunked ones that weren’t true?
