Colour Difference

The following scene took place on an American Airlines flight between Chicago and Toronto.

A white woman, about 52 years old, was seated next to a black man. Obviously disturbed by this, she called the air hostess.

“Madam, what is the matter” the hostess asked.

You obviously do not see it then ? She responded. You placed me next to a black man. I do not agree to sit next to someone from such a repugnant group. Give me an alternative seat.

“Be calm please” the hostess replied. “Almost all the seats on this flight are taken. I will go to see if another place is available.”

The Hostess went away and then came back a few minutes later and said “Madam, just as I thought, there are no other available seats in the economy class. I spoke to the captain and he informed me that there is also no seat in the business class. All the same, we still have one place in the first class.”
