A 23 year old man from New York was woken up by a flight attendant that commanded that he exit the aircraft.He thought this was an emergency procedure that would require the whole aircraft to evacuate. However he soon realized that he was being singled out. The man who prefers to only be identified with the initials W.H. is filing a lawsuit along with 3 of his friends Shan Anand, Faimul Alam, and M.K. who also say they were singled out because of their looks. When they asked why they were being removed the flight attendance told them to exit "peacefully" and demanded they return to the gate and await further instruction.It was only after the plane took off that and airline agent told the men "they could not board because the crew members and specifically the captain, felt uneasy and uncomfortable with their presence on the flight and as such refused to fly unless they were removed from the flight."
I am personally disgusted. This event connect ts to the civil rights movement. It is completely that people nowadays are so rude and denying people their civil rights. They are making people feel like they are less than human. These people obviously did nothing wrong. Just like African Americans were being kicked out of restaurants and other public places now Muslim people are having to deal with the same thing. This stereotype of Muslims being terrorists has really taken over society and caused people to completely turn against Muslims just like it did African Americans in the 60s.
People are humans jeez
