Yes, an obese woman half naked is inappropriate on an airline, regardless of her profession. In fact, it's inappropriate just about anywhere. Isn't that common sense? It used to be...
So? People handle things in different ways. Personally, I don't get why silly women sit online all the time Googling the names of total strangers.
The flight was a short hop in a hot climate. What a non-issue.
My point was that she looked pretty good in her lab coast, since it seemed too much of a stretch for you to imagine her in one.
why so touchy? Nice ASSumption. She asked a legit question as to why the victim/race card must always be played.
I take it this situation struck a nerve. Are you the type that can;t wait to play victim online for $$ and SJW points? Sounds like it. Personally, I don't get why silly women sit online and lash out at anyone who has a different opinion from theirs. Sounds like you and the "Doctor" love being the victim! Hit the treadmill chubs!!
She was on vacation. Who dresses professionally while on a beach vacation? I know I sure don't. What I wear on vacation has nothing to do with my abilities as a teacher, and I doubt it has anything to do with her abilities as a doctor.
It's gross that a woman's professionalism is judged by what we wear while on vacation.
While I agree there wasn't anything wrong with her outfit, WHY are you so upset that not everyone agrees that she is blameless? People of all backgrounds are unfairly judged and hassled for less than this every day- Is she MORE of a victim due to her race and gender-making her more equal than others
Googling her name, it appears she does "trauma counseling" sometimes with canines, sounds pretty much like a life coach, in a business she owns.
She no longer submits payments to insurance, (read, insurance doesn't pay for her services) but will provide itemized bills so that her patients can advocate for themselves with their providers.
Um hm. I was just really struggling to picture her in a lab coat with a stethoscope around her neck.
Counselors don’t wear lab coats nor use stethoscopes
Unfortunately black women are generally perceived as dressing provocatively really often in many outfits.
First, there is no evidence to support that view.
Second, in the bolded text above, you use the passive voice, which begs the question, just who is it that is doing this perceiving? Please repost using the active voice "Unfortunately XXX generally perceive black women as dressing provocatively..."
Now be specific: Who, exactly, is XXX?
Third, this is about one specific person and that person's choices. It is not about something as nebulous and non-homogenous as "black women" in general.

You're retreating to the passive voice again in the bolded text. Exactly who has been doing this evil socializing to which you refer? Give us a name. Be specific.

Second, you're using the passive voice again when you assert "no complaints are made." Who is it, precisely, who is failing to complain?

The passive voice again. WHO has this double standard of which you speak? Where is the evidence?
Saw the pictures. She looked fine. Of course she thought it was racist.....
