Southwest sued over alleged multiracial child trafficking.

A Mother’s Fight Against Racial Discrimination: Southwest Airlines Faces ‌Lawsuit

A heart-wrenching incident unfolded in October 2021 when Mary‍ MacCarthy, a white mother, and her ‍multiracial daughter were accused of trafficking ⁢by Southwest Airlines employees. Now, MacCarthy⁣ has taken a stand and filed a racial discrimination lawsuit ‌against the company.

MacCarthy and her 10-year-old daughter were on their way ⁤to Denver‌ from Los Angeles to​ attend a funeral when they ⁤faced⁣ an ⁢unexpected‌ ordeal upon landing.‍ A flight attendant’s suspicion of potential human trafficking led to a confrontation with police officers.

“The only basis ⁢for the Southwest employee’s call was⁤ the belief that Ms. MacCarthy’s⁢ daughter could not possibly be ⁤her daughter because⁣ she is ⁢a biracial ⁣child.”

In her federal court filing, MacCarthy asserts that‌ the flight attendant’s suspicion was rooted in a “racist assumption about a mixed-race family.” She emphasizes that there was no basis to believe she was trafficking her ‍daughter.

As MacCarthy and ⁣her daughter walked‍ down the jet bridge, they were pulled aside ​for questioning by ⁣the police, causing immense distress. The complaint ⁤highlights the emotional toll inflicted by Southwest Airlines’ alleged display ‌of⁣ blatant racism.

“After significant questioning, during which Ms. MacCarthy’s daughter began⁤ to break down in tears, Ms. MacCarthy was​ eventually allowed to leave by the officers, but ⁤not before this display‍ of blatant racism by Southwest Airlines caused Ms. MacCarthy and her daughter extreme emotional distress.”

A police report, previously released, revealed that the flight attendant expressed concern because the mother and daughter did not talk during the flight. However, MacCarthy denies⁤ this‍ claim, stating that ‌her daughter was ⁢listening to⁢ an audiobook and that they did communicate during the trip.

Southwest ⁣Airlines has declined to comment on the pending litigation, stating, “We don’t⁢ have anything‌ to add right now on this⁤ pending litigation.”

In subsequent interviews, MacCarthy revealed that she now‍ carries her daughter’s ⁢birth ‍certificate with her to avoid ⁣similar incidents in the‌ future.

The⁢ lawsuit seeks a jury trial, attorney costs and​ fees, and damages to be determined during the trial.

The Washington Examiner has ‍reached ⁣out to Southwest Airlines for a response.
