Racism and Sexism Intersectionality

Crosspost "Air Canada moves male passenger next to unaccompanied minor" from /r/MensRights:

I witnessed this myself on a Sat August 3rd flight from Heathrow to Toronto.

• A group of unaccompanied children aged about 11 or 12 seated by cabin crew station..
• A respectable middle aged Indian man was seated next to one of the girls.
• Crew staff had been interacting with children for sometime, they were clearly aware of the man's seating arrangement. It did not seem to be a problem to them.
• A another crew member arrived and told the man he had to be moved. He was removed from his seat and had to stand in the aisle in full view of everyone. He looked confused and embarrassed.
• In the meantime the crew member started very publicly asking for a female passenger traveling alone.
• Two women refused to move and others murmured that what was happening was wrong.

I can only assume the Indian gentleman was considered as too high a risk of sexually assaulting the girl. Nice profiling Air Canada!
