Another day, another privileged white person showing their true colors.
This time it happened on an Air India flight from Mumbai to London. Simone O'Broin, 50, flying with an Irish passport but sporting an English accent, claimed to be an international lawyer. She then had a total racist meltdown over not being given another glass of wine. From the state of her behavior it is clear the last thing she needed was more alcohol. While O'Broin disrupted the entire flight with her ranting and raving, the crew kept cool.
The ugly mess was captured on video (Of course it was! It always is.) by another passenger, Tarun Shukla, who happens to be a journalist.
During the boozy tantrum, O'Broin said:
"I am a f***ing international lawyer. I work for all you f***ing people, the f***ing Rohingyas, the f***ing people of all Asia, for you, an international criminal lawyer. Don't get any money for it by the way. But you won't give me a glass of wine, is that correct?"
In a bizarre twist, the majority of people seemed to care more about whether she was Irish or English than the fact she just went on a horrifically racist rant.
Remember, she went on a racist rant and was abusive to the airline staff.
Thankfully some folks saw the bigger picture.
English or Irish, we're pretty sure they have AA meetings in both countries. No one should go full on racist over a glass of wine. Even better: just don't be racist at all drunk or sober.
