Try BA for a day and you will immediately know racism is not yet dead in this world. For non-white and non-Indian people like me, it is always a complete lower-class experience on BA. Many times, I tried to return to my seat from bathroom and somehow the BA FAs would come and police the policy of 'going back to your cabin'. I need to show my J BP to prove I am a J passenger returning to my J seat after using the J bathroom. Never an apology for the annoyance.
When we flew J YYZ-LHR on BA, when we got to the gate there were already a huge crowd gathering there, including several LARGE Indian families. The GAs repeatedly announced the boarding had not started yet for the general public, people please stand back to let first class and business class passengers board first... Most Chinese ethnicity folks did stand back a bit, the LARGE Indian families would not budge an inch... despite a GA actually went to talk to them, and they just pretended they did not know English.
When we managed to get in front of the families blocking the boarding area, the BA GAs waived us to head back... not until I shoved our J BPs in front of their face...
Though sometimes I cannot blame the BA folks stereo-typing people based on the behaviors I have seen at YYZ.
