A hyperwoke former Vogue editor proudly announced that she self-downgraded from first class on a flight to Milan to avoid a cabin filled with white men.
Gabriella Karefa-Johnson, 34, made the declaration on her Threads profile Tuesday evening.
The Brooklyn-based journalist wrote: 'I just downgraded myself from first class to business class on my flight to Milan.
'In a cabin of six, five of the passengers were white middle-aged men... then there was me, a 30-something black woman who travels in that cabin often, and a male flight attendant who thought I'd be okay with substandard service and persistent micro-aggression from the moment I sat down.
'He was... wrong,' Karefa-Johnson continued. 'I don't suffer fools, and I would sacrifice physical comfort to protect my emotional and mental well-being any day.'
Karefa-Johnson did not detail the microaggressions she claimed to have suffered.
The progressive activist's pronouncement about 'sacrificing physical comfort' was likely overblown, given that the business class cabin she moved to would also offer flat-bed seats and copious amenities.
Karefa-Johnson, who quit Vogue in 2023 after posting an anti-Israel rant in the wake of the October 7 massacre, quickly attracted gushing praise for her downgrade.
During her tenure as contributing editor-at-large of the fashion outlet, she got into a public feud with Kanye West after the rapper launched 'White Lives Matter' apparel in 2022.

HAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAH!!!! Hope that FAT ASS FIT in a COACH SEAT!! WHAT A MAROON!
uh oh...she didn’t go to COACH ...she went to BUSINESS CLASS!! LOL! NOT THAT MUCH DIFF!
Indeed...I find it hard not to like ol’ William Shatner...:)
ABFUL?
Going to have pull her race card for multiple violations:
“black” was not capitalized
No age description for the male flight attendant.(Are we sure he’s really male? What are its pronouns?)
No race description for the male flight attendant.
Were the other flight attendants in business class white? Then she should have downgraded to economy. If they were not white, then that’s clearly discriminatory. And no mention of the races and other groups for the cockpit, baggage, food service, gate attendants. Naughty.
No mention of global warming. Whoops, my bad, climate change.
Surely this was Donald Trump’s fault.
“Sardine Class” is a good description.
