Delta airlines is yet again in hot water and this is over allegations that involve a passenger getting kicked off the flight all because he spoke Arabic on the flight. A few passengers weren’t comfortable.
This video has been circulating the internet the entire morning and it’s truly a travesty to see Delta’s name in the mix again. If you recall, it was also a Delta flight that didn’t believe that a black woman was a doctor.
YouTube star Adam Saleh was on a Delta flight and happen to speak Arabic to his mom. It made a few other passengers uncomfortable and that resulted in them getting kicked out. In the video, you can hear women in the background yelling “bye” as well as waving bye to the camera. Saleh posted an update on his Twitter feed.
We are still stuck at the airport and Delta has not given us any info. They keep telling us to wait. Please spread the word #BoycottDelta
