A fat guy saw who his neighbor is, as he was sitting down he said to himself "Oh the shower was broken i didn't take one for 3 days already", it didn't take long he got a new neighbor.
I guess doesn't always workout right

I know this family personally. They are the last people I would ever expect to have body odor. They are very normal people. (Yes, SHOCKING, Detroit has normal people!)
Did Gary contact u to verify u know them?

does anyone think that aa is going to say that only one passenger complained or only one crew member said that the family had BO?

from what i've seen in other cases when ever a crew member has an issue with a passenger it makes no difference if the complaint is correct the captain and all the other crew will back the single crew member making the fuss

I'd just like to point out that nobody here has any right or reason to just claim that religious discrimination took place in this case. I get that the couple is claiming that but according to their own story, they don't really know if that's the case or not since they didn't even ask why they were being removed until they were already off the plane. Calling anti-semitism when you have absolutely no way of proving it does a disservice to all of us and does only harm, not good. Imagine if the same story took place with a black family and they claimed discrimination, half the people here would be saying that they are overreacting and calling racism just to justify themselves when they can't prove it. Don't be a hypocrite just because you happen to be Jewish also. While anti-semitism has been on the rise around the world in general, we should not be so quick to use it as an excuse for self-justification, especially when it is not verifiable and no violence took place.

Just my $.02.

One thing I promise you. If that couple was black, Gary wouldn’t have written that article
like that. Not even close.

Not to mention, there’s no way in hell it would ever happen. And yes. There are blacks that smell too.

The entire world would be in an uproar if a black couple got kicked off a plane because people complained that they had BO. I bet we'd even have politicians chiming in.

Yea, and it would be just as ridiculous to assume it was discrimination as it is here.

It would never happen. Regardless of whether the BO is real or not. They'd be too afraid of the backlash.

I'd be hard-pressed to believe that a kempt, normal family like that has body odor bad enough to warrant being kicked off.

When it's that bad, there are usually other signs of lack of hygiene.

Perhaps. But you know what is discrimination? The way Gary and others are reacting/non-reacting to it. Discrimination or not, it’s definitely no less discrimination than it would be if it were perpetrated upon any other minority.

The quick response to acknowledge this story by aa leads me to think that they know they did something wrong

I dunno, I'm not going to count the comments, but it looks to me that besides the people who actually know the family, people are more likely to believe frum people stink rather than that the worst airline in the country by almost every metric may have screwed up.

Quote
Meanwhile, the University of Houston on Thursday defended an engineering professor who urged students — especially those from India and southeast Asia — to be aware of body odor issues.

The message was sent to graduate engineering students, NBC affiliate KPRC reported.

"People from India use lots of spices and people from other Southeast Asian countries use lot of garlic which has lots of health benefits," according to a message. "However, there is one problem. The body odor due to consumption of these foods becomes strong."

Didn't we have a thread about this at some point? I think foods were mentioned specifically.

Ok, so I did some digging. And I found out what they ate right before going to the airport.

And, well, this might explain a few things:



And I don't want to say who serves this, but they may or may not advertise this dish:



Anyway, you know what they say, you eat merde you smell like merde...
