Would this have happened if the wife were Black? If both were white? Or even to a white person traveling with a Black minor? The answer is NO, and we know it.

Presumably, the husband and wife HAD to have presented documentation before even boarding.

The passenger was just trying to start the usual hate based racist sht. And the airline became party to it.
