A Nigerian family thrown off a United Airlines flight in Texas has filed a lawsuit alleging racial discrimination, reports the Dallas Morning News.

The family was flying from Nigeria to Canada in 2016 when they had to switch planes in Houston.

The incident started when the mother who filed the suit, Queen Oboima boarded the flight in Houston after arriving from Nigeria. She got to her seat but found a white man was sitting in it. She says he ignored her requests and refused to move.

Oboima says she summoned the flight attendant, who would not make the man move, instead telling her to take a different seat. The man then got up and went to the cockpit, the lawsuit alleges.

Oboima went to the restroom before the plane took off. When she got back, he was blocking her seat. A flight attendant then went up and told her to get off the plane because she needed to speak to someone.

When she spoke to another employee off the plane, she was told that the pilot had personally requested that she be ejected from the aircraft since the man who was sitting in her seat was not comfortable traveling next to her because she was pungent.

The woman asked to speak to her children, who were still on the plane, but this request was denied.

Instead, according to the lawsuit, she stood in the terminal crying as her luggage and her children were removed from the plane that they were supposed to take to their new school.

The incident is potentially the next and a long series of public relations disasters for United, which has been under fire for reaccomodating a doctor by dragging him violently off of a plane and killing a puppy by shoving it in an overhead bin.

They just absolutely refuse to allow people to fly in the seats that they've purchased. It's pretty weird.

United seems to like fucking over people and killing their pets, perhaps they get off on all the lawsuits.

Not a strong or smart way to run a successful business.

It's not racism. White or black, if you reek bad enough in a confined area someone will make an issue of it.

That's a very strange and fucked up incident. Who was the dude in her seat? Why wouldn't the flight attendant make him move? Why did the pilot get involved in this, particularly in the form of taking this dude's side?

United drags asian man off plane = douchebag airline, but not racist
United kills white woman's dog = douchebag airline, but not racist
United kicks off black passenger = douchebag airline, and automatically race-motivated

The guy fucking tried to enter the cockpit and was still allowed to fly? What the fuck

Also the more startling thing is how she was allowed to use the bathroom before takeoff. Airlines are usually hardcore against that shit

I wouldn't want to be sitting next to no smelly person either. Their race has no bearing on that. I wouldn't want to be sitting next to no gassy person either, or someone who enjoys the smell of their own ass. Fuck those people. Fuck them, and put them in their own section.

The only person that actually said she was smelling was the person sitting in her seat that got her kicked off the plane.

The man lied to get her seat. Steals her seat then complains against her to get her removed. He probably chuckled when she was kicked off. I wonder how he knew the pilot would side with him

Perhaps the airline will call upon witnesses to corroborate the man's story?

United kicked my uncle, two cousins and myself off a plane because my uncle was "too drunk to be flying". We weren't drunk and it was like 9 in the morning. We proceeded to get fucked up at the united club until noon when our replacement flight was and they let us on just fine. Fuck united.

It can be hard to maintain your hygiene when traveling across the world. She had already gone from Nigeria to Houston, Texas.

I know lots of people that have done some long-distance flights and they never smell offensively.

first of all, we don't know if the the guy was just being an asshole, or not, and secondly, if she really smelled bad to him, it could have been diet related (i.e. curry), too much perfume, or something else not related to how hygenic she is

why would you make an irresponsible general post that implies that this only flows in one direction? and what are you gaining by pretending like this trend isn't reactionary to generations of older trends?

what is the overall message you'd like people to take from you when you make a post like that?
