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 placed me next to a 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 the places on this flight are taken. I will go to see if another place is available." The Hostess went away and then came back a few minutes later.
"Madam, just as I thought, there are no other available seats in the economy class. I spoke to the captain and he informed me that there is also no seat in the business class. All the same, we still have one place in the first class."
Before the woman could say anything, the hostess continued, "It is not usual for our company to permit someone from the economy class to sit in the first class. However, given the circumstances, the captain feels that it would be scandalous to make someone sit next to someone so disgusting."
She turned to the black man and said "Therefore, Sir, if you would like to, please collect your hand luggage, a seat awaits you in first class." At that moment, the other passengers who were shocked by what they had just witnessed stood up and applauded.

Totally heard this recently in an email. Happened on British Airways. Well I thought the story was brilliant. It would be especially great if it were true, but even if it's not, it's something to pass around. Some stuff I'm irritated by, but if it has a true purpose like this little story, then I will absolutely pass it on! Here Here to the author of this little tale!!

Each of us has our own set of beliefs, standards, likes and dislikes. They are ours exclusively, and whether anyone else cares for them is immaterial. The woman was perfectly within her human rights to object to the seating arrangement. Had the person sitting next to her been a drunk, and she objected to drunks, you would all say, "Hey, right on", or some such. Do not belittle the woman for her personal beliefs. Instead applaud the pilot for his resolution of the situation. It was well done. (Assuming it is even true.)

Is this a true story? True or fiction, I think it's a good story.
