She didn't say either one. These crazy women heard her say "Eenie, meenie, minie, moe; pick a seat, we gotta go," and it REMINDED them of the racist version they'd heard somewhere, and they ASSUMED it was directed at them, and they ASSUMED other passengers' giggles were directed at them. And now they want to get PAID for all this stuff that happened entirely inside their own heads!

Just another sign that the Vissigoths are just out of sight and approaching the gates.

I have to say, you hear a lot of nutty stories like this, but this one really stands out. You are telling me that the childhood rhyme for picking something/someone even w/o any racist content, is actually grounds for a lawsuit because of its racist history???? The part that really gets me is that the judge is letting this continue.

Make me wonder if whenever this woman hears people sing Happy Birthday, she's expects one of the alternate versions.

BINGO!

And what do you want to bet...NO ONE will EVER hear ANY part of that rhyme on a Southwest flight again??

And unfortunately, it's just "Good business"...

Exactly! It reminds me of the old lady who called the police and reported that a peeping tom had been watching her while she was in the bathroom. Arriving at the lady's apartment, the policeman asked her to show him where she observed the peeping tom. Leading the policeman into the bathroom, she announced that it was from here that she saw the peeping tom. The policeman looked around and said, "I can't see into any of those windows from here, where upon the lady pulled out a step ladder and said, Climb up here and you can.

May I remind you that the "Hostile Environment" standard in sex-discrimination decisions is based on the

perception

of a "reasonable woman"?
