It was more like the FA walking down the aisle with newspapers saying, "USA Today, New York Times, and don't touch me, USA Today, New York Times, and don't touch me". The don't touch me was reserved only for Indians. And for the record, no one touched her or even tried to.

Another instance is a FA slapping food trays down, and the sweet old Indian lady said all she wanted was coffee. The reply, "does this look like a coffee cart to you?" The woman was shocked. The bev cart was a few feet away...why couldn't the jerk simply have said, "ma'am the beverage cart is coming in just a few minutes."

There were many more instances like this that I could write here, but I have to get back to work now!
