Actor Marlon Wayans accused United Airlines of racism after he received a citation for disturbing the peace in a confrontation over his luggage. Wayans and the airline agree the problem began when an employee told him he had too many bags to carry on. The airline suggested that instead of letting the employee check one of his pieces of luggage, Wayans pushed past him and tried to board his flight. Officers were called to the gate, and Wayans was cited for disturbing the peace, Denver police said. He’s scheduled to appear in court on July 11.
Wayans vented his frustration on Instagram, calling the encounter “the highest level of disrespect,” and stating that black people experience all kinds of racism and classism. He claimed he complied when the gate agent asked him to consolidate his bags. Wayans chose an American Airlines flight to Kansas City instead of United, stating that he would rather fly coach on another airline than first class on United. Wayans apologized online to his fans in Kansas City for missing Friday night shows and demanded apologies from United. “This won’t stop until I get some apologies and there are changes,” he wrote.
This incident highlights the importance of respectful communication between travelers and airline employees. It is critical that passengers follow airline policies regarding luggage so that everyone can board and deplane safely and efficiently. Such problems are avoidable with calm communication between passengers and airline employees.
