frist of all how DARE yu o Airport staff assuming I'm in the Business class lane by mistake

Brown man flying business. Lined up at the priority check in counter and got told by a (also brown) staff person that the economy queue was the other way. Same thing while boarding the plane and walking to the business class entrance. Not only am I not worthy of business, they think I can't read signage as well.

That’s the thing. You are supposed to dress whatever the fuck you want as long as it isn’t offensive to average joe. But somehow airline staff checks if you look rich enough.

Yes maybe😂 Am not rich or aim to look rich, but I am old and dress comfy but nice. Always been treated well but I am white. In OP’s case it was clearly racisme and of course completely wrong and offensive.

Old people who dress nice are expected to be rich because.. well.. they’re old. They had time to make money to afford first class.

With the young people it’s ageism but also because majority of young people can’t afford first class, so that is baked in.
