George Takei 
🏳️🌈🖖🏽When you catch your fellow airline passenger typing a racist e-mail about you... 🤦 SMDH
Fil 🏳️⚧️@georgetakei wow aaaand a white background in light mode. This old woman literally has no chill …
KFFYes…please seat me next to the “dolled-up black ladies” … and far away from that racist creep… thank you.
And yes … I’m sure that will enjoy my flight.
Geoffrey Hoytsman Esq@georgetakei my drink would have “accidentally” spilled on her.

Michael Vilain@georgetakei I had mine in Vancouver. Someone was kind enough to direct to my hotel from where the bus dropped me off (it was nowhere near the hotel). He proceeded to go on and on about the "damn Jews" who bought it and how it was a shame.
Mom told me about all the crap she dealt with in L.A. in the 40s and 50s, even from her sister-in-law. But this was my first time.

@georgetakei its the size 120 text for me… seriously don’t waste your energy on these people, and if they dare to touch you alert the crew asap. A nice recording of their nonsense will be useful too
SammieSung@georgetakei not sure what is racist about the tweet other than it being crass.
@sammiesung @georgetakei maybe bc shes typing about race (which is irrelevant regarding her experience on the plane, unnecessary information… or, in her case, is it?) with not so positive tone and unknown intent.
Jeffob1@georgetakei
I'm struggling to see the racist part of it, is describing a black woman as being black racist? If someone described me as being a white guy it wouldn't be racist it would be factually correct.

JDS@georgetakei been noticing a lot of people with next to zero followers and posts doing a lot of “what abouts” in replies around here lately 🤔
kelleynnn@jds @georgetakei I just blocked a bunch of accounts.
@georgetakei .... WHY is this racist? Because the word "black" is used? You guys are just TRYING to make everything racist aren't you? There is NO context given. Sit down TRASH people.
KazinatorSorry, I don't see anything racist there. Two black ladies sat next to her and she wrote exactly that in her remark. (Maybe there is more to it, but that's the information given to us.) She didn't write that it's because the woman next to her is black that she wants another seat.
I also don't see what is "ableist" about pretending to be disabled (or more disabled than actually) in order to get help. The word simply doesn't fit.
Pure manufactured outrage here.
Sigsegv@Kazinator @georgetakei No, that's not what she wrote. She called them "very large dolled-up black ladies, one of whom is extremely hostile", which is an insult and not a "remark". Mentioning someone's skin colour in an insult is definitely racist and completely unnecessary.
If one really needs to criticise someone, at least don't adjust the insult based on skin colour?
And I would also be upset if the person next to me did that right in front of me. It's very passive-aggressive.
A stark description of you written in a private message between strangers isn't an insult.
It looks like those passengers next to her were in fact large black ladies, who were dolled up.
About the hostile part, there is no way to know. Since it was written in a private message to her friend, we have to take it as a honest impression, whether right or wrong. Maybe she is prone to reading hostility into ordinary actions, which is certainly a personality problem.
@Kazinator @georgetakei It's not a "private" message when you deliberately show your phone to the person you're insulting (or at least don't care if they see it). And if her goal was to describe the woman as accurately as possible, why didn't she talk about her hair colour/length or her clothes, etc?
Still, she's not filling in a suspect description form or anything 🤷
Try to think about it for a moment. I think you too should understand why mentioning skin colour in an insult is bad.
@georgetakei Hi George, not sure it's right that you should be showing a photo of the woman. She hasn't committed a crime, (and even if she had ...) And she may have mental illness ... No one is perfect, please remove the pic dude.

@georgetakei i would “accidentally” spill my drink on the racist woman
SoapyFMF@georgetakei It is habit to rail against whatever George puts up. To be fair, I did not see the interaction these 3 people had, and it is not cool to invade someone's privacy by looking at their phone and then putting their private contents on the Internet. I'm not convinced that simply identifying someone's race is racism. To be fair maybe Mizz Rizzy, having grown up in racist country is sensitive about race and read more into the situation than a stranger simply being irritated
