Default Muslim easyJet passenger accuses airline of 'racial profiling'...

…after steward burst in on him on the toilet mid-flight because he'd been in there for more than 15 minutes

The aftermath of the incident video is on the Daily Mail link at the bottom

Quote:
A passenger who spent more than 15 minutes on the toilet of an Easyjet plane mid-flight claims he’s a victim of racial profiling. Adil Kayani, 35, has been offered £500 as a gesture of goodwill and an apology from the airline, but he’s still not happy. He was sitting on the toilet with his trousers around his ankles when staff opened the door for ‘safety and security’ because he’d been in there for so long.

The incident happened two hours into a flight from Marrakesh to Manchester Airport after a winter break.

Adil said that he told them that he would be out in a minute after hearing a ‘heavy knock’ on the door. He said: ‘But then the lock turned from red to green. Someone had opened it from the outside and forced their way in. ‘I was still sat on the toilet and I was completely exposed. I shouted get out and he shut the door immediately. ‘They didn’t do this to anyone else on the flight. It’s not as if I was in the toilet for a long time. I feel completely violated.’

EasyJet said they were concerned for his welfare, but Adil says there was more to it. He said: ‘I think it was racial discrimination. They can see the colour of my skin. I was racially profiled. It was discrimination. I think it is Islamophobic. ‘I feel like my dignity was violated and my dignity is more important than the money. ‘I’m just not happy with that. I want a proper apology from the individual who I feel was not only dismissive, but extremely rude and arrogant. ‘I was made to feel like a criminal. It was really humiliating for me. ‘That is the first time anything like that has ever happened to me. The only way I can make sense of it is because of my racial background.
