A thread I started on the Cabin Crew forum a couple of hours ago has been closed by a moderator. I have no idea why except that it could be taken as being critical of CC behaviour I encountered on a recent flight.
This thread contains a term of racial abuse in its title. Yes, I realise the word was a name given to a dog probably because of the colour of his coat. However, that does not change the fact that the word has been used to insult, deride and belittle black people. Some members of Pprune may well have suffered abuse of this nature. No matter what the context this word should not be used. I'm not suggesting the thread should be closed or deleted. However, it should be edited to remove this offensive word.
