American Airlines Sued by Black Passengers Alleging Racial Discrimination

American Airlines faces a racial discrimination lawsuit from a group of Black passengers who allege they were unjustly removed from a flight earlier this year. The lawsuit, filed by three Black men, claims they were ejected from a Phoenix to New York City flight "without any valid reason, based solely on their race," along with five other Black male passengers.

According to the complaint, the men were told to leave the plane following a complaint about body odor. However, the plaintiffs argue that this reason was a pretext. . .
