Was This American YouTuber Kicked Off a Flight For Speaking Arabic?
Arab-American YouTube stars Adam Saleh and Slim Al Baher filmed a video as they were being removed from a Delta flight, and it’s already gotten over 400,000+ views.
The flight was bound for New York, but before departing from London, Saleh and a friend were removed from the flight– just because a fellow passenger overheard the star speaking in Arabic. “Delta airlines kicked us out for speaking Arabic to my mom on a plane,” he tweeted.
Saleh’s massive Internet career was built on him mocking Islamophobia through his pranks, but yesterday, he actually experienced it. This isn’t the first time Delta has removed a passenger for no apparent reason: in August, a Muslim couple traveling from Paris to Cincinnati was taken off the flight after a staff member complained that they felt uncomfortable.
