A scene also took place on a BA (British Airway) flight between
Johannesburg and London. 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 than?" 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 one seat in the business
class. All the same, we also have one seat in the first class." Before the
woman could say anything, the hostess continued: "It is unusual 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 then
turned to the black guy, and said, "Therefore, sir, if you would like to,
please collect your hand luggage, a seat awaits you in first class." At the
moment, the other passengers who were shocked by what they had just
witnessed stood up and applauded. This is a true story.
