I’ll start with Alvin Jackson, Emmanuel Jean Joseph, and Xavier Veal. That case did, in fact, involve racial discrimination by the airline, and it was ultimately settled out of court. Those three men were initially removed from the plane over alleged offensive body odor, but after the situation was reviewed by airline personnel, they were allowed back on board. They were not screaming, yelling, or causing a disturbance. So while that case is real, it has nothing to do with the situation you’re describing. More importantly, the people who were removed complied with the crew’s instructions. It doesn’t lend much support to your argument.

The woman in this case, Whitney Lynn, was banned from flying on all airlines owned by that airline group, which I believe includes three or four carriers. She also wasn’t forcibly removed because she complied with the order to leave the aircraft. She may have been loud and belligerent, but she did not physically resist.

As for the executive order, it was not legally considered a blanket ban on Muslims. You’re applying that label based on your own interpretation rather than how it was ultimately treated in law.

You’re falling into the trap of steering the conversation toward a conclusion you already want to reach, in this case, condemning the Trump administration and portraying the United States as uniquely terrible. That’s not what we’re discussing here. Racial profiling exists. Not just in the United States, but virtually everywhere. Racist incidents happen in every country. Some receive extensive media coverage; many do not.

I’m well aware of my country’s shortcomings. However, the claim that people are generally afraid to walk the streets for their own safety is simply not an accurate description of everyday life in the United States. If believing that helps reinforce your view of America, that’s your prerogative. But it doesn’t make it true.
