    an order is only an order if the recipient responds to it. she could not order him to change languages any more than you can order someone to jump in front of a bus. all she did was spout her nonsense. it was on him to ignore her, or not.

    I don't have time to go through this entire thread, but I must ask what the heck is a youtube star?

    Yes, we get that. Most folk are good and kind and only need to spend a small amount of time with 'the other' to realise we're all human etc. But this isn't simply a matter of small town white people feeling uncomfortable when talking to someone with black hair and an accent (that's the stuff which is easily fixed), this is a pervading unease based on past history and known issues.

    I think a lot of people on this forum who constantly fear monger Muslims are old white people who've never seen the world, they've lived in small towns with predominately white populations. It skews their bias. They've an unrealistic view of the world. Where they are from its usually white people that are the criminals and yet they aren't afraid of their own race.

    it's bog ordinary people, who inexplicably think they're interesting enough to warrant sharing themselves with the world. probably didn't get enough attention as kids. there is no rhyme or reason to popularity in YT land.

    there are exceptions, of course. one very good example of someone who has really earned the millions of subscribers he has, is known as "Primitive Technology". he's never said a word, and no one knows who he is. utterly magical stuff. he makes bear grylls look like a fluffy kitten.

    Since you weren't there, you are speaking out of ignorance. Those who were there considered this mans actions to be disruptive and were uncomfortable. The person in question has a history of gaining attention through stunts. Should the captain have forced several people to feel uncomfortable to appease one person?

    The epitome of ignorance would be your use and spelling of the word, Epitome.

    They also would not let a doctor help out a guy because she was black

    I don't know that many old white people, but of those I do, the only ones who have weird ideas about Muslims are Christian. I don't know if their religion is the reason (maybe their Pastor incites fear?), but it's worth noting.

    My observations (from inside the migrant/non-white/muslim-familiar bubble) is that those who are the most ignorant of the culture (of islam) are white hipsters with minimal exposure to same. They tend to be inner city dwellers, and have very little opportunity to spend time around ordinary muslim families - who almost all live in the suburbs. Hipsters hate the suburbs, so never cross paths with the real deal. They are as clueless as the oldies, in my experience.

    I remember that story. Turned out she had no qualification ID on her to present. Are you saying you'd be happy for airline staff to allow anyone who claimed to be a doctor treat your child/family member/self? Or would you prefer that they verify qualifications first?

    It's true. If you're white you're more likely to be violated criminally by another white person. But instead white people are afraid of anyone with a different skin colour.

    You notice how it's always white people complaining in the airport. It's funny how the minorities stand up for discrimination on the video, while the whites are quiet.

    This guy couldn't have made the call before going to the airport?
    Before boarding the plane?
    He couldn't speak English?

    Sounds to me like he's either an idiot or intentionally "baited" the situation.

    Here are your racist remarks in their entirety.

    Does the truth offend you?

    - - - Updated - - -

    When trump called Mexicans rapists and murderers were you offended on behalf of Mexicans? Did you criticize trump? No. I'd bet a golden coin that you agreed with him. As if you're one to talk.

    Trump didn't say that. He said they are sending us their rapists and murderers. That is factually correct. If you have a different quote please provide a source and link.

    The person thrown off the plane is a known hoaxster that has gotten thrown off planes before. He was thrown off the plane for being an idiot, not for speaking Arabic. Let me guess you believe the hoaxster who....is known for doing these things but not the airline.

    You said that Trump called Mexicans rapists and murderers. That is not true. You need to address that comment so we can see if you were being truthful or not. If not, that's the end of this argument. Did Trump say what you said he said or not?

    He did call Mexicans rapists and murderers, he even said the Mexican government sent these people to the US.

    It is not unrealistic to have a healthy fear of a religion whose radical elements have been guilty of spreading fear and death through terrorism and who promote undermining our Constitution with Sharia law.
