Racist woman gets her request.

I had this in flame wars but I moved it here.

I got a chain e-mail from my mom today, you know "this is true, pass it along to people if you are against rasism etc.

I don't care if it's fake this is a good story.

Chain letter writer wrote:A white woman, about 50 years old, was seated next to a
black man.

Very disturbed by this, she called the air hostess. "You
obviously do not see it then?" she asked. "You placed me next to a
black man.
I did 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 & then came back a few minutes later.
"Madam,just as I thought, there are no other available seats in Economy
Class.

I spoke to the captain & he informed me that there is also
no seat in Business Class. All the same, we still have one place in
First Class."

Before the woman could say anything, the hostess continued.
"It is not usual for our company to permit someone from Economy
Class to sit in 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 guy, & 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'd been shocked by
what they had just witnessed, stood up & applauded.

Yeah I know we all have a little prejudice in us but actual racism sucks, so that made me smile.

Ugh, she's the worst, forwards every one of those things.

Fortunatly they are pretty good sometimes and I don't have to kill or block her. It is kind of a bummer that sometimes is like 1 in 50-1000.

2dimes · Post by **2dimes** » Mon Jun 18, 2007 5:56 pm

Thanks gethine, I've seen those on a much larger list at a couple of pilot functions. Some of them are true not all are from Quantis.

Problem: DME volume unbelievably loud.
Solution: DME volume set to more believable level.

I think that gives it away right there. The only thing funnier would have been calling her a "Sky Waitress" ala 3rd Rock from the Sun. :lol:
