I won't wait for the OP to come back. They have a record of starting threads then not bothering to respond to posts / answer questions.
I am not a regular AA flyer but I guess in the last 5 years I've done aound 15-20 sectors - international and domestic - and not once have I ever seen an AA employee treat a passenger with anything other than respect and politness no matter their apparent ethnic origin.
I wish some passengers recriprocated that behaviour.
Do incidents happen - of course they - do but there are incidents of this nature on all airlines so you'd soon end up with no airlines to fly on.

Please do not think that I frittered away my working life on BA eavesdropping at toilet doors - but where on earth you get that piece of information from I cannot imagine.Presumably you must be acquainted with others that, perhaps, do. I've heard people double flush more times that I have had hot dinners.My worry if I heard multiple flushes, and I mean multiple would be that someone was not well.

I wish more people flushed twice going #2 . Courtesy flush (at least one, maybe multiple especially as the bulk hits the bowl) and the last one after you're al done to clear it and have it ready for the next person.
Someone going #2 and sitting in there...while the stench builds and floats outside...why?

700 odd flights in the last 6 years and zero incidents that I have been part of, or witnessed. I've dealt with a couple of racist passengers and the TSA thinks I need secondary screening, but not with AA or any airline.
And I'm tall, brown and have a beard. Basically the holy trifecta of profiling targets.

You should always flush twice. It's a long way to the galley.

So fair or not, AA will end up dealing with the blowback.
