No worries matie, I did ask for it in my mid morning outrage...

Okay. Let’s say he really was kicked off the flight for non-race related reasons.

Yup. My husband is from India and has a beard, and he gets “randomly selected” for full pat downs at least once every trip. Forget that he’s an atheist/former Hindu, he’s brown and could try something.

I’d sit next to Mr. Abtahi on my next flight before an old white Southern guy any day.

Maybe he stepped in front of the crew member shouting “excuse me riff-raff! You must make way for an actually important person who matters, unlike your worthless self blocking my path!” while shoving him or her to the ground? That’s the only scenario I can think of where the pilot’s excuse even begins to make sense.

Also... I'm not advocating being awful to staff or anything, but as an employee aren't you more or less obligated to just suck it up when a customer is minorly rude to you?

Assuming the pilot is referring to car cutting off and not cutting him off on foot(which if it’s this he’s the pettiest guy next to Tom), how the fuck would he even know? If someone cut me off while I was trying to get to curbside at Will Rogers Airport here in OKC i would probably be to busy trying to find a space…

So let me understand this. Supposedly, he cut off a crew member in traffic. That crew member followed him to what I’m assuming is the rental car drop off, then followed him into the airport, went through TSA security, and just *happened* to be working on his flight.

It’s been pretty much like this for the last 14 years:

“Thank god I’m dead!” -Anthony Quinn

So the pilot is either a racist asshole being afraid of a man of Middle Eastern descent or he’s a petty asshole for taking revenge on someone he thinks cut him off in traffic. Of course, he could always be both but so far he’s only admitted to be a petty little turd-monger.

He was allowed to cancel it with no penalty.

Wait, so he “cut off” a crew member while coming into the airport...what does that mean? He obviously wasn’t driving there (ugh new york), so it’s not a car thing. Does it mean he walked in front of them? Got in front of them when they were both heading to the escalator? Wildly careened in front of them to beat them…

Next up: Sicilians, Greeks, and Sephardic and Mizrahi Jews. Just wait!

Poor guy. I’m sick of this shit.

CNN is almost as bad as Fox News these days. Over Thanksgiving, my dad and I got into a debate about the leaning of CNN. I said CNN leaned right and he said it was “total liberal garbage.”

These gigantic fleece Star Trek pants my kid made for me. I do not work out.

Whatever tee shirt and sweatpants I have that are old and I don’t mind getting grease stains from fast food on.
