While I am sure that the racism comes from the alleged comment "Tell your people...," this is clearly not racism. The "your people" the FA was talking about was the minion/hairdresser, who I am sure could have placed the item above her seat and there would not have been a problem.
Just another case of someone thinking that they are entitled to something and when they do not get it, blaming others for their own shortcomings. Since this happened in ORD, how long until Jese "I was just standing on the motel balcony minding my own business when fortune smiled upon me" Jackson gets involved?
