This thing has mutated into a life of its own.

Fox and Friend weekend reported earlier this morning that the airline lost Dr Dao’s luggage.

ROFL!!!

more like these ancestors of asians need to GET A LIFE OF THEIR OWN.

I’ve never seen an American group that wants SO MUCH to be a victim when they have absolutely nothing to base it on.

You've got to be kidding. I guess if you're not there to pick it up, it's fair game. Great way to run an airline.

what I want to know is if first class passengers were included in the “lottery”.

Seems like a high demand out there for this category of entertainment programming. This ‘story’ belongs to a “genre’” not unlike the classic Jerry Springer and Jenny Jones shows, and that crap is still fairly popular more than 20 years later. If people would not be so nosy and so anxious for the world to know all about their inconsequential bullshit...I think it would go a long way in making America great again.

Asian really isn’t considered a minority.

I know it doesn’t for things like EEO, etc.

They are proof that if a numeric minority has good values that stress achievement, ownership and education the race-pimps will embarrassedly shove you out of the way.

But, but, but—diversity certainly is evident here as the victim is a Vietcong refugee, the perpetrator is black and the United CEO appears to be or Hispanic origins.

**********************************************

If he were black or Muslim, I don’t think they would have dragged him out of the plane in the same manner. In this country, with the BLM/”you’re a racist” movement & being overly cautious not to ‘target’ Muslims or discriminate against them, I think some other action would have been taken, including re-selecting a passenger who was not in either of those categories. A white or Asian passenger .... I don’t think racial/discriminatory or targeting concerns ever crossed the minds of those involved in the ‘drag out’.

As soon as I heard this story I assumed there was a very good chance the passenger was foreign-born ... not because the airline would target foreigners when bumping passengers from a flight, but because most Americans would be socially adept enough to realize the idiocy of making a scene in that situation.

No. One of the reasons you fly first class is to make sure you don’t get included in a “lottery” in a situation like that.
