There's no need to be so hostile. According to both articles, when the family was kicked off the plane there was no reason given other than a generic flight safety issue. After the whole incident is when United Airlines cited that it was an issue about child safety seats, which the family enquired before they were kicked off the plane. Whether or not the pilot had racist intentions is to be debated but UA did humiliate that family for no good reason.

And you have no evidence that the harness wasn't the reason, and especially no evidence that it would have been different wuth a white family.

We do know that the airline had no problem making excuses long after the fact, but the pilot was unable to at the time of inquiry.

 

We also know that Islamophobia at the airline has had documented incidents before.

 

After a while, patterns can be recognized, and the absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.  Pilot should have answered when he was asked---at this point it reeks of damage control.
