Richard Branson Apologies After Passenger Receives Racial Abuse
Ryan Boyd March 18, 2016
Virgin Atlantic owner Richard Branson apologized on Twitter to a Chinese passenger named Liu Wei who claims to have been verbally assaulted by a fellow passenger aboard Flight VS250 from London Heathrow Airport (LHR). A white man passenger allegedly called Wei “you f****** Chinese pig,” raising his fist and telling her to get off the plane, and Wei claims that the Virgin Atlantic flight crew not only refused to intervene – they threatened to kick her off the flight for arguing with the man. Once made aware of the incident, Branson tweeted “Really sorry to hear about an alleged incident on flight VS250. We do not tolerate abuse and @virginatlantic are investigating.”

Making a statement that is correct?? Funny how he didn't speculate it was a drunk white guy who caused the scene..... "There has been a lot of news lately about unruly drunk white guys who get kicked off flights".. that's my quote....
No, he is just making a statement that is correct, as we all know, there are two sides to a story, you seem to have decided the report is fact.
Wow, Lakeviewsteve, you gonna start insinuating the victim is the one to blame now???
Wow, wish hey would have went into more detail about what caused the argument. There has been a lot of news lately about unruly Chinese PAX causing big time issues and they get put on a special unruly pax list.
Well this was posted by the Daily Mail. Not sure how much faith I have in the story being accurate or even real.
