A 50-something year old white woman arrived at her seat and saw that the passenger next to her was a black man.
Visibly furious, she called the air hostess.
"What's the problem, ma?" the hostess asked her
"Can't you see?" the lady said - "I was given a seat next to a black man. I can't seat here next to him. You have to change my seat"
- "Please, calm down, ma" - said the hostess "Unfortunately, all the seats are occupied, but I'm still going to check if we have any."
The hostess left and returned some minutes later.
"Madam, as I told you, there isn't any empty seat in this class- economy class. But I spoke to the captain and he confirmed that there isn't any empty seats in the economy class. We only have seats in the first class."
And before the woman said anything, the hostess continued
"Look, it is unusual for our company to allow a passenger from the economy class change to the first class. However, given the circumstances, the commandant thinks that it would be a scandal to make a passenger travel sat next to an unpleasant person."
And turning to the black man, the hostess said:
"Which means, Sir, if you would be so nice to pack your handbag, we have reserved you a seat in the first class..."
And all the passengers nearby, who were shocked to see the scene started applauding, some standing on their feet."

President Obama's skin colour
Of Barack Obama, upon his election as US president in November 2008, he said: "[Mr Obama is] young, handsome and suntanned".
His response to the wave of criticism following the remark: ''God save us from imbeciles... How can you take such a great compliment negatively?"
An unabashed Mr Berlusconi rehashed the jibe on his return from the G20 summit in Pittsburgh on 28 September 2009: "Ah, Barack Obama. You won't believe it, but the two of them sunbathe together, because the wife is also tanned."
So, you can see, racism is still quite dormant in every continent, every place, every little corner of the community. That was just too miserable. Now that it is the twenty-first century, it is the era of liberty and equality for all.Why racism?
Hello, we are known with ONE common name: HUMAN. We are blessed with a pair of bright, foreseeing eyes, a pair of sharp ears, an annoyingly nosey little nose, an unshuttable mouth, an oh-so-unique face, a body and four strong, versatile limbs. Well, at least MOST of us are born this way.
What we are here for? Obviously, to live as a high-class organism with the scientific name, homo sapiens. God blessed us with this vast land to cultivate on, with people from around the world to live and work happily with, a family to love, and...
Apparently, we are here to make the best out of this world, not for disputes! Worse, RACIAL DISPUTES.
Sinchew Daily, one of Malaysia's largest Chinese newspapers, has even revealed the racial stigma in London... (P/S: Sorry to friends in London, I do not mean to critisize London or England or whatsoever. In fact, I actually DREAM to visit there! XD )
So, here they are. (Videos only, this is the definition of a relatively lazy person like me, ha ha! )
(Note: I'm not going to harass anyone here. My relative's wife is white, too. I've never met her in person, but according to my relatives, she is very friendly. Conclusion: Not all people share the same social stigma)

MRT chaos
Description of the video (Username: Optimess Prime)
I am posting this video to show how this woman racially abused my friend on the London Underground during a busy period.
I would also like to say that my friend does not claim any money from the British government, in fact, he is on the average tax band, which means he contributes to the benefits British people claim for, hence, making a fair contribution to society.
Also, his job requires him to communicate in Russian daily, and requires the quality of the language to be at native level or better, so he is not taking any English jobs.
Whether the woman was under the influence or not, I don't think it is fair to make those kind of remarks, specially in front of so many people.
The funniest part of this video is when she apologises for her language to the women next to her, because apparently, they were both foreign!!
I should also point out, that my friend only realised this was worth filming after about 10 minutes of her rant, the reason as to why she became agitated is because my friend was having a quiet conversation with his friend in Russian and she was sitting in front of them.
Is she Racist, yes. Abusive, yes. Bad person, maybe not. Who knows... if it was me however, I would like to think that I would have said something and it is sad that nobody did, in fact, according to my friend filming she was given support.
Is this what England has come to? A country that once welcomed various cultures seems to have become the complete opposite.

Main persona: Woman with a pram.
Part of the Description of the video: (Which I totally agree with)
A 34 year old Racist Psychotic Woman with a toddler in London gave a racist slur for 2 minutes, causing passengers distress and some classic commentary from the black people. I'm glad the woman has been caught and that she has got punished.
This is a comment from a Youtube user: (I do not mean to critisize anyone, once again...)
From an outsiders perspective, the White British aren't a hateful people for the most part, it's more that Muslims don't integrate and thus it's like they're outsiders on the inside, and as for Blacks, most White Brits aren't really physically powerful or extroverted and yet a lot of the culture Blacks bring is pretty aggressive and alpha male, so some Whites are threatened with valid reason, particularly the lower/working classes where male dominance hierarchies still come heavily into play.
Here, the victim is an Asian. (You have to understand Cantonese for this video; the Chinese lady speaks very little English yea.)
Description of the Video:
Oct 7, 2009 10am, Chinatown San Francisco. Racist black lady hogging seat next to her refusing the Chinese lady a seat while she asked her politely. The argument quickly escalated into a fight. It is clear who threw the first punch. This is what Asians have to go through.
No stigma on the Blacks yea. NO STIGMA ON ANYONE! In this case, the Blacks are the victims. =='''
Thought my tram experience was a one off?
Here is another ignorant member of the public
Drunk Old man being racist calling a guy a "black bastered" on the bus to new addington near Croydon in London City
Crying in my heart...
I think seeing is believing. I'm not going to talk about it anything more as I am sad of such racist stuff. But wait！
A couple of days ago (as far as I remember what's published in the news), a teacher was charged for having allegedly insulting six form five students in a school in Negeri Sembilan, with the words "Balik China" (Go back to China) and "prostitute". It was all because they did not bring Malay Language textbooks, having the timetable changed suddenly.
I do not understand these. What's the point of being racist?
More racism=More chaos=More disputes=WAR.
Let's beat racism. It only tears us apart. We are just different in our skin colour and religion, otherwise, we are the SAME! We can shine and contribute to the community too!
