1) When makig claims of discrimnation, it helps not to have a reputation for throwing heavy objects in fits of unprovoked rage.

2) Do we realy believe the British Airways would "discriminte" against one of the most famous supermodels in the world?

Ms. Campbell comes of looking like someone using their race to try to shield themselves from the conssequences of their actions. A most, an individual staff member may have used a racal epithet, and (while not justifying its use) it is easy to imagine a senario where the epithet was used in response to Ms. Campbells well documented absurd behavior. Thats if it was used at all.

Triumvere,

Exactly. I haven't heard anything about racist terms uttered by the other people she smacked around. She seems like a very unhappy individual. With all that she has, too. She needs to be required to live with people who really do have it hard. That would be the best education for her.

USN,

Heh, you got it in one. Perhaps Super Bitch would be more appropriate.

Anybody else kicking and spitting at UK customs officers would have got the requisite 42 days confinement and questioning, and of course, heh, "the finger".

Last year, she was sentenced to a week of community service in New York City after admitting “reckless assault” for throwing a mobile phone at her housekeeper.

I was amazed, heartened even, to read that the usually permissive NY legal system sentenced her to five hours of cleaning public toilets as part of her community service.

I vaguely remember her face, and that she once fell off a catwalk. But she is more famous here than Britain's last 3 prime ministers.

Wait, I misread it; a "passenger" called her a racial epithet? How can that possibly be the fault of the airline?
