I read it O_O. It said they kicked them off due to safety issues, and that previously a girl was denied a can of diet soda because she may use it as a weapon. Thats pretty fucking racist lmao.

Please tell me which airlines will give you a can of soda. Please tell me how in the hell does this have ANYTHING to do with race.

Is a white person incapable of turning an empty can of soda into a weapon?  Is a black person incapabale of doing the same thing?  This is on an airlines where a can of aluminum can be turned into a deadly weapon plain and simple.

Jet Blue and United, actually.  They will give you the can.  Having flown as recently as last November for Blizzcon, I can attest to this.  The one thing I'd like to point out is, 2 examples of airline discrimination, does not necessarly indicate a 'rise' in anything.  So, a citation on the increased frequency of cases would be needed, in order for the title of this thread (and article) to be anything but clickbait garbage.
