My issue is that AA makes no assertion that they investigated and concurred with the accusation. They accepted the passenger complaints at face value. So anyone with a personal or ethnic dislike of someone else can get them kicked off a plane? I don't think that AA has any personal or ethnic dislikes of anyone, but to not be alert to this possibility and do some independent investigation sounds like poor customer service training to me.
The crew who is asking you to get off the plane should be able to smell you just as well as the passengers sitting beside you. That seems like about the right level of investigation.
