Qantas has vowed to help a member of its cabin staff take legal action against musician Willl.i.am if the Black Eyed Peas front man does not retract his claim that he was a victim of racial discrimination.

The rapper and producer alleged on Saturday that he was targeted by an "overly aggressive" female employee during a flight from Brisbane to Sydney, after he left his laptop out.

He said on Twitter that he couldn't hear the PA announcement instructing passengers to put away laptops and other electronics through his noise-canceling headphones.

Describing the incident, the musician told his 12.8 million Twitter followers that he was mistreated by a "#RacistFlightattendant" who was "beyond rude."

"I don't want to believe she (is) racist. But she has clearly aimed all her frustrations only at the people of color," he wrote after sharing a photo and the full name of the staff member.

I agree they'll cave and I doubt she will sue either.

Also, don't see how this is newsworthy or why the OP is seemingly applauding it. Very strange story overall.

if you don't find it newsworthy, you're free to run along. there are dozens of stories on it at the moment.

why wouldn't i applaud anyone fighting back against false 'racism' hoaxers?
