Why did she feel this way. Nothing in the report indicated anything
about her race only that she seemed to be cutting in front of people
ahead of her in line. Where are the "discrimnating remarks"

File her under "too hypersensitive to be allowed out of the house."

Motwani, a 28-year-old Indian-American, said when she approached the gate
with her boarding pass around 12:40 a.m., an attendant told her that she
was cutting in line and would have go back.

Motwani said the attendant looked at her and said, "We don't cut around
here."

He spoke deliberately, enunciating his words, she said.

"I felt that he spoke to me as if I was not from here," Motwani said.

Idiots like this give legitimate discrimination cases a bad name.
