southwest airlines

i was watching ellen de generes the other day and one of the guests was this girl who was going to take a flight from southwest airlines. She was demanded by the flight steward to go down the plane and was not allowed to join the flight just because of what she was wearing.

She was wearing a white mini skirt, a white top and a yellow bolero. She was wearing something casual and a typical teenager would wear. So she was told to go off the plane because her clothes were disturbing, so she got so shocked after minutes of fighting with the flight steward , and the steward's point was "Southwest is a family oriented airline and what she was wearing was very inappropriate. "

This was the first time this ever happened discrimination in an international flight because of what the person was wearing and she was a white blonde girl, so it was really surprising.


Its weird that now they discriminate people based on what they wear irregardless of their color or position in the society. It was very surprising for me and I got very irritated because for me the teenager chose to wear that outfit because that was her own way of expressing herself, and what's worse was that the steward had to put the girl in the spot and she got so embarrassed, he shouldve told the girl properly and just told her off that people got offended with what she was wearing if there were people who actually got offended with what she was wearing. The steward should've approached her in a nice way not to the extent that she couldn't be in the flight because of just what she was wearing, and when the girl demanded for a public apology, they didnt agree to what the girl wanted and they didn't do anything about it.
