00:00 You guys are racist.
00:02 I cannot believe my eyes. I cannot believe it. I spoke a word, a different language, and you said you feel uncomfortable?
00:08 YouTuber Adam Sala posted a video to Twitter showing himself being escorted off a Delta flight after a passenger complained about him speaking Arabic,
00:16 then complaining to the Delta employees that this made him feel uncomfortable.
00:20 Honestly, it's hard to watch everyone sitting in silence as this whole thing goes down and only one guy standing up for him.
00:26 That's insane. Especially in this nation with the surge of hate crimes following the victory of Donald Trump. Delta released a statement saying, "We take all
00:34 allegations of discrimination seriously, and we are gathering all of the facts before jumping to any conclusion. Our culture requires
00:41 treating everyone with respect. Furthermore, Delta people are trained to frequently handle conflicts between passengers."
00:47 Fans of Adam and just other concerned people in general are now protesting online with the hashtag
00:53 #BoycottDelta. Many people are pointing out that Adam has made a career off of making people on planes uncomfortable,
00:58 but that really shouldn't matter in this case. I mean, even if his prank was just speaking in Arabic on a plane,
01:03 it's still the people who are getting upset around him who are absolutely in the wrong.
01:07 I mean, it's just like saying, "Ah, no, you can't speak another language on the plane. Sorry, buddy. You gotta go."
01:12 Hima says, "Again, I don't care if this is a prank or not. The fact is, it has happened a lot this year.
01:17 It happens.
01:18 It's real to me when I fly." And Benny says, "The fact that people on the plane were cheering and waving bye
01:24 disgusted me. This makes me lose faith in all humanity. #BoycottLA."
01:28 The bottom line is that Adam isn't the first person that this has happened to, and honestly,
01:33 we would be a better nation if starting today, he was the last. For more stories like this, visit whatstrending.com.
