AMS racist incident?
 
AGMA Condemns KLM Airline and Amsterdam Airport Schiphol after Racist Incident Involving Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater Dancers and Staffers – American Guild of Musical Artists
Does anyone know what happened here? Story seems extremely one sided. I thought it was common policy to not allow pax who are delayed and who are taking a flight the next day to retrieve their luggage.

I'm not sure there is a 'common policy' for IRROPS, it's also unclear how PAX bags were tagged (i.e. to the final destination on the next-day flight or to the final destination on the original booking), if the former than I would indeed expect KL to refuse (or ask for 275€ fee), if the latter then it sounds like a reasonable request, whether the reason for refusal was racist or not I guess we might never know

From what I heard it was a case of self entitlement meets reality at AMS. Why is there no video evidence of such racist bullying tactics ?
