?
I'm not surprise by this at all seeing how FAs treat "gwailo" (love those Cantonese expressions) and Chinese differently. Is it even a secret?
I have seem a similar case too. A Caucasian was literally demanding to have his seat assignment back (check-in next to him), wasn't really paying attention there, but then I boarded the plane and he sat on one of the bassinet seat at the first row, and the mother with the baby is in the middle seat. Chatted up the fellow, and he told me that he was demanding his seat back because he was very upset that CX has booted him off. Looking at the situation it was cleared that the parents with the baby probably claimed the baby-bassinet seat that he probably assigned himself earlier, and then was booted off. However, what amazed me is that he was able to argue his seat back, another case of CX agent backing off from a "gwailo"?
