Unfortunately, this is not the first time a situation like this occurred. A Muslim host for the popular YouTube channel The Young Turks was booted after complaining about a flight. In that situation, the pilot claimed he didn't feel safe with the host on the flight.
Meanwhile, one Sikh man said he was kicked out of a line when waiting to get into Wimbledon.
