“Chewing Gum” actress Michaela Coel shared a humiliating experience she endured while on a Virgin Atlantic flight.

Unlike past news-making incidents on other airlines, this case did not involve in-flight staff but passengers making racist faux pas.

“Congratulations to Virgin Atlantic passengers once again!” Coel said. “A lady just confused me for a hostess and asked me to clean up her mess and increase the flight temp. What I’m wearing… what the staff are wearing.”

Coel wonders how the passenger could be confused when she is pictured wearing all black while the staff is wearing red. While Virgin Atlantic has yet to respond, several users wanted to fight the passenger while others shared their own experiences being mistaken for the help.

“What does she look like? I just wanna talk…” one Twitter user said.

“They can catch these virgin claplantic hands,” another said.

“One time a lady asked me if I [worked] at Target, while I had sunglasses on, and an all black ensemble. #SomePeople,” someone else shared.

“I was once locked into a building at work,” another began. “This was my first job, I was dressed in a suit. A policeman came and described me as the cleaner when he radioed for help. Nothing wrong with cleaning but…….”

And even celebs like comedian Quinta Brunson and singer-songwriter Estelle chimed in.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
