“Of course”, a dark-skinned Black woman on a flight must be there to serve dusty white ladies, right?! NOT!
Actress and ‘Chewing Gum’ creator Michaela Coel doesn’t shy away from calling out racism when she sees it, and this time she reports that a woman on a Virgin Atlantic flight thought she was a flight attendant, asked her to clean up her mess and raise the cabin temperature. If we had any doubt this is due to prejudice, Coel points out that what she was wearing doesn’t look ANYTHING like the flight attendants’ uniforms.
Just your casual, every day good ol’ racism.
Carry on, motherf*ckers.
