A stand-up comedian and actress in the US has drawn flak on social media after she boasted online about getting four Sikh men in turbans kicked off an airplane as she was apparently 'threatened' by them.
In the video posted by Instagram comedienne Jess Hilarious on her handle, the woman first mocked the men in turban who appear to be on the same flight as her and implied that she was uncomfortable by their presence.
After she was criticized for her racist post, the comedienne hit back saying "F**k y'all, I feel how I feel. I felt threatened and that was it." She went on to post further videos in which she announced that after she put out the video, the plane was evacuated.
"...I'm never racist, but I spotted something and I put it out earlier. And we just got evacuated from our plane," she said, adding that the airline gave no reason for the said evacuation. In yet another video she posted after this, she claimed that she was back on the plane and that the four men did not re-board. "So how ironic is it that we boarded the same plane and don't see those people," she said.
The comedian has seen been receiving severe backlash for her racist Instagram posts that have since been deleted. A compilation of the videos was posted on Twitter by activist Simran Jeet Singh on Sunday and has since been viewed over 2.5 million times.
Sikhs should sue the airline and bankrupt it.
I re-read this 3-4 times trying to make sense of it. What a *****. And not to mention, she is black too so she definitely knows how it feels to be on the receiving end.
