This couldn't have anything to do with her ethnicity and veiled racism, could it? Nah, that's not possible in this modern, more tolerant day and age. *cough*
I seriously doubt it. I’ve seen trashy women of ALL ethnicities get the same treatment from airlines.
I am a white conservative old lady, but I have seen much worse on public beaches, so I think Southwest was wrong in THIS instance. (Usually I take the side of the airlines.)
It is not the job of any business to be the fashion police, except for their employees, unless a customer's outfit is truly obscene or a customer is (almost) inarguably indecent either in attire or behavior.
However, that being said, I agree that the outfit was both tacky and tasteless, in my opinion -- and opinion is what this really comes down to, isn't it? She didn't actually violate any rules that I know of.
If airlines want a dress code for passengers, they should let their passengers know what it is and sign an agreement prior to buying their ticket.

I've seen worse at Walmart. Have the airlines somehow mystically raised themselves to a higher level than Greyhound now?
As soon as I saw the subject, I didn't have to look at the picture because I already knew everything I needed to know about woman who was taken off the flight. Sad that it is so predictable.

"but I have seen much worse on public beaches"
You expect women to wear revealing clothes on a beach. The airline was well within it's rights to pull her from the flight. The woman has no sense of propriety.
