"American Airlines Removes All Black Passengers Over 'Body Odor' Complaint"

A lawsuit claims that American Airlines removed all Black passengers from a flight due to a complaint about body odour by a white male flight attendant. The incident, which occurred in January, involved eight Black men who were later allowed to re-board after an unsuccessful attempt to secure alternative flights. Three of the men have filed a racial discrimination lawsuit, alleging they were singled out due to their race. American Airlines is investigating the allegations, which they state are contrary to their values.
