One more thought:

The institutionalized racism against white men in today's popular culture, championed by the left in a variety of ways, ---- CNN is exhibit A ,-- never justifies individual racism against minority individuals.

They seem to be rising, together.

The issue is that there was a discussion about establishing the fact that one of the parties was an MD.

This isn't a random passenger screwing around. I have zero sympathy for idiot pax, trust me.

The rules at Delta stated showing a licence wasn't required. She voluntarily did it anyway. Twice. And still was interrogated.
Yes, but you don't know all the details. Maybe her picture was quite old, hard to recongize, different hair or glasses. Granted, the fact that she would have ANY "MD ID" is already an indication she's probably involved with medical stuff.

Or it was a case of racism and/or sexism.

On the other hand, I do have trouble understanding why a racist person would elect to work as a flight attendant and meet people of different races/color/countries daily.

As an AvCanada discussion grows longer:
-the probability of 'entitlement' being mentioned, approaches 1
-one will be accused of using bad airmanship

I don't know. Everyone has to work somewhere.

People are often afraid, it's sometimes that simple. I've been all over the world. People are people, I'd like to think.

I was flying to Austria a couple of years ago. Long enough flight so I wandered to the back, said hello and got an extra bag of pretzels. Ended up having an interesting conversation with a very well educated FA. She was very openly angry, which one doesn't see in that culture too much, about the uncontrolled amount of refugees allowed into Austria.

One can see how some would direct that resentment individually, perhaps.

This is one reason governments are rapidly changing right now, the populist movement.

If you want to experience racism try Saudi Arabia.

It can be a bit of a chore getting a visa to go there though.

Too bad there wasn't a photo of the doctor. Maybe she looks like a hippie or a cat lady. More to the story than the FAs being racist.

Nope.

‘Nope’ it is, I wish my doctor looked like her.
