Popular Arab-American YouTuber Adam Saleh claimed that he and his friend were removed from a Delta Air Lines flight from London’s Heathrow Airport on Wednesday. They were asked to leave by the captain after he was heard speaking to his mother on phone in Arabic and then carrying on the conversation with his friend in Arabic.
Saleh, in a Twitter video, said that they were being “kicked-out” because they “spoke a different language” which made the other passengers “uncomfortable”.
“You guys are racist,” Saleh can be heard saying.
