What is in color?
On a British Airways flight from
well-off white South African Lady has found herself sitting
next to a black man. She called the cabin crew attendant over
to complain about her seating.
"What seems to be the problem Madam?" asked the attendant.
"Can't you see?" she said " You've sat me next to a kaffir.
"I can't possibly sit next to this disgusting human.Find me another
seat!"
"Please calm down Madam." the stewardess replied. "The flight is very
full today, but I'll tell you what I'll do-I'll go and check to see if
we have any seats available in club or first class."
The woman cocks a snooty look at the outraged black man beside
her (not to mention many of the surrounding passengers). A few minutes
later the stewardess returns with the good news, which she delivers to
the lady, who cannot help but look at the people around her with a smug
and self satisfied grin:
"Madam, unfortunately, as I suspected, economy is full. I've
spoken to the cabin services director, and club is also full.
However, we do have one seat in first class." Before the lady
has a chance to answer, the stewardess continues ... "It is most
extraordinary to make this kind of upgrade, however, and I have
had to get special permission from the captain. But, given the
circumstances, the captain felt that it was outrageous that someone be
forced to sit next to such an obnoxious person."
With that, she turned to the black man sitting next to the woman, and
said: "So if you'd like to get your things, sir, I have your seat ready
for you..."
At which point, apparently the surrounding passengers stood and gave a
standing ovation while the black guy walked up to the front of the
plane.
