Yemeni-American YouTuber Kicked Off A Plane For ‘Speaking In Arabic To Mom’, For REAL!

The world we live in is not the same we saw half a decade ago! Times have changed and so have people. However, one thing has multiplied its existence in folds and has crept into our hearts and minds. HATE! The tiny little word that has outweighed humanity.

In times where ISIS is terrorising the rest of the population and crushing vox populi, Islamophobia is only the tip of the jar of the problems that are the biggest concerns of our time!

In yet another ugly episode, An Arab American YouTuber, Adam Saleh, was reportedly kicked off a Delta Air Lines because he was conversing with his mother in Arabic over the phone that apparently made passengers uncomfortable. He took to twitter to share.

“Guys, we spoke a different language on the plane and now we’re getting kicked out. This is 2016. 2016. Look, Delta Air Lines are kicking us out because we spoke a different language. You guys are racist. I cannot believe my eyes.”

Hours later, Saleh’s video got over 350,000 times retweets and the hashtag #BoycottDelta was trending on Twitter.

 

Subsequently, and after a gamut of security checks Saleh was allowed to board another flight to New York with a different airline, though. The vlogger shared his ordeal in a series of tweets.

UPDATE: Delta just brought the police to speak to us.

The Delta airlines, however, have contradicted the allegation and in a statement said,

“We’re conducting a full review to understand what transpired. We are taking allegations of discrimination very seriously; our culture requires treating others with respect.”

If it is what it looks like, then we, as humans have failed humanity!
