You missed the point.
You. Missed. The. Point.
Public concensus is not an argument. I never called it an argument.
I called it a ***problem.***
For whom is it a problem?
Not for Dao; public sentiment is vastly, wildly, overwhelmingly in his favor.
The party with the ***problem*** is United. Granted, they are in grovel mode, and for quite some time each day brought a fresh apology. (Munoz even met with a delegation of Chinese, to try and persuade them United isn’t racist.)
Despite the groveling, United still has a problem. The public perceives them to be goon-thugs, who would rather put an elderly man in the hospital than negotiate with a willing couple. That’s a *problem* United will be saddled with for some time to come.
As well they should be.
