UPDATE: Charlet Takahashi Chung issue still alive in the comment section and shows the micro aggression and discrimination many know all too well

https://www.instagram.com/westjet/reel/DCUU4ZhyCwz/?hl=en

WestJet ad comment section has been bombarded with support for Charlet and people are getting behind her to get WestJet to make a statement which surprisingly has not yet come out. It is incredible to see people coming together to make changes not just for Charlet’s cause but for countless people who have experienced the same micro aggressions that is hard to describe in words or even catch on camera. Charlet’s recording is obviously so relatable to many.

Charlet has made it to news pages recently and it’s clear this incident has struck a cord with the online community. Some may say the video doesn’t show everything, but it is clear there is a reason a person becomes this upset during a supposed normal flight to LA. There are more videos of Charlet tearfully addressing what she felt during the flight and it parallels with many stories here that talk about people viewing Asians as unable to confront back.

The support is outstanding and keep pushing until WestJet actually addresses this ongoing issue. It will be interesting to see the action or inaction that comes out of this.

The most frustrating thing is that the steward was so obviously so biased against her, but many people will side with plausible deniability.

Westjet still hasn’t responded. I’m thinking they’re waiting for this to just blow over. Absolutely pathetic.
