Being called out for discrimination is the quickest way a company can be under scrutiny—and ultimately lose money.
In the most recent case, Delta Airlines was called out for allegedly kicking a young man off a plane for speaking in his native Arabic tongue:

Although this story is still developing (and receipts are being gathered), this wouldn’t be the first time Delta Airlines was in the news for discriminatory practices. Remember the African American woman who was a doctor and the airline staff didn’t believe her?
We still have a ways to go, yall.
TELL US: Have you ever witnessed discrimination as a customer/consumer?
