Mary MacCarthy, who is white, blamed ‘a racist assumption’ after the airline alerted police over her biracial daughter
A mixed-race family has demanded an apology from Southwest Airlines, after a flight attendant flagged them as suspicious, wrongly assuming the white mother was trafficking her biracial child.
Mary MacCarthy said her 10-year-old daughter, Moira, now “clams up” when they talk about how an airline employee and two police officers questioned them after their flight landed in Denver on 22 October.
