A strong example of racism

The following history is real and give us a strong example of racism.

It happened in a flight of British Airways between
Johannesburg (South Africa) and London.

A white skin female, approximately 50 years old, reached her place in the economic class, and saw that she had a black person on her side.
She got upset and called the stewardess.

-"Do you have any problem, ma'am?" - she asked.

-"Are you blind?" -said the old lady-"you just put me next to a black man, i can't stay here! You Must get me a new place to sit."

-"Please, calm down" - the stewardess said -"unfortunately, all seats are occupied, but I will see if we have any available.

The stewardess comes back momments later.

"I'm sorry, like i said before, there are no seats avaible in economic class. I spoke with the commandant and he confirmed that we have no seats avaible, not even in economic class, we have only one seat avaible in first class"- before the costumer made any comment- "It isn't usual our company allowing a economic class passanger to change for first class, but, given the cirunstances, the commander thinks that it should be scandalous to make a passanger travel near such an unpleasant person".

The stewardess said to the black men " So, please sir, may u grab your luggage, because we reserved for you a seat in first class." ALL the passengers applauded and were amazed.
