And in other case, people who have interactions with authority tend to shift blame away from their own actions.
If one gets pulled over for rolling through a stop sign or driving too fast, they tend to blame the cop for picking on them. Minority group status often has nothing to do with it, but just becomes another way of avoiding personal responsibility.
Here a black FA thought the pax was dressed inappropriately, and there isn't the slightest evidence race was involved. Considering this was a flight from Jamaica, the majority of passengers on the flight may have been black. Yet, there is an allegation that race is involved which leads the airline to try to minimize adverse publicity even though the FA's actions may have been totally appropriate. I presume you'd agree it is inappropriate to randomly claim discrimination to gain some advantage.
