A group of Black men are suing American Airlines after allegedly being removed from a plane due to an unidentified body odor.
The racial discrimination lawsuit alleges that all Black male passengers were removed from the departing flight on Jan. 5, 2024Three Black men are suing American Airlines, alleging discrimination and unfair removal from a plane after a white flight attendant complained about an unidentified passenger's body odor.
“What happened to us was wrong. Imagine a flight attendant ordering every white person off a plane because of a complaint about one white person," said the three plaintiffs, Alvin Jackson, Emmanuel Jean Joseph, and Xavier Veal, in a statement. After American Airlines offered to rebook their flight, it became evident after an hour that there were no alternative flights to New York that evening, the lawsuit said. At that point, the passengers were allowed to reboard the plane, and the flight was delayed by over an hour.
