You have no basis to conclude that the passengers who left did so wholly or partly over racism. Could it have been (a/the) reason? Possibly, but we don't have any proof of that. They might have also left due to the disruptive incident itself, or the airline's poor handling of it. But absent being able to read those passengers' minds, or a statement by the passengers explaining their deplaning was due to the man's race,
none of us knows what was inside any of their heads.
Calling others racist without any proof of such is ridiculous and presumptuous. As is the title of this thread.
