Adam Saleh, a Yemeni-American YouTuber, was kicked off an American passenger airplane before take-off for speaking Arabic. He was told to shut the *** up!
He captured the whole experience on video of course. The video is attached below.
He said that some five or six passengers yelled out: "Kick them out."
Delta Airlines says that there were "more than 20 passengers that voiced discomfort" with Adam Saleh and his friend.
Discomfort?? Discomfort for speaking in their mother tongue? We ARE in 2016. We are supposed to be living in a world where globalization is alive and kicking.
The video has already been shared over 180,000 times and the hashtag #BoycottDelta has begun trending on Twitter.
Yes there are horrible things happening in the world right now, however generalizing a specific race and saying that one bad apple spoils the whole bunch is not the way that we should be thinking. We are humans first and race last. We all share the same aspirations, dreams and emotions.
Many social media users including us are OUTRAGED. Racism is everywhere and we refuse to withstand it and that is why we are saying something about it.
