- A United Airlines passenger named Frederick T. Joseph said he experience the perfect example of "white privilege" on a plane after the white woman next to him put her feet up on her tray table.
- Joseph, a black man, alleges that the woman, who was white, was offered a $1,000 compensation in order for her to put her feet down, which he believes a person of color would never experience.
- Now, United is responding to the allegations and claiming that it does not "tolerate discrimination of any kind" and that they never offered the woman compensation.
Flight attendants say one of the worst things an airplane passenger can do is put their feet up. But according to Frederick T. Joseph, that's exactly what one woman did on a United Airlines flight — and she was allegedly somehow offered a reward for it.
