Racism is one of those worse faces of the world which still pevails. People make others feel inferior because of their skin color and one of our celebrities from B-town has had a similar experience. 

Shilpa Shetty Kundra, the girl who shook up the celebrity Big Brother house in season 5 when people passed comments on her skin color, has raised her voice once again. In the show too, she was applauded for voicing her opinion loud and clear and now too, she didn't hesitate in opining what she felt. 

Today she took to Instagram and shared her ordeal at the Sydney airport. As Shilpa mentioned in her post the lady at the check-in counter of Qantas airways, created unnecessary hassles for her just because she is brown. She was made to move from counter to counter and as Shilpa claims, the problem was her skin color. Here is what she wrote in the post:

This should get your attention!
Travelling from Sydney to Melbourne and at the check in counter met a grumpy #Mel ( that's her name)who decided it was "OK" to speak curtly to "US" ( Brown people!!) travelling together ,I was flying business and had 2 bags (my allowance)and she insisted and decided my half empty Duffel bag was oversized( to check in!!) So she sent us to check it in at the other counter dealing with "Oversized luggage" ..there a Polite lady(yes this one was) said .."this ISN'T an oversized bag, pls check this in manually if u can at another counter" ( all this happening while the counter is going to shut in 5 mins) As the manual check in wasn't going thru for 5 mins( we tried) I went upto #Mel and requested her to put the bag thru as her colleague said it wasn't an oversized bag.. She refused again.. Just being adamant especially when I told her this is causing a lot of inconvenience .. We had no time to waste so we ran to the oversized baggage counter and requested her to put the bag through which she did after I told her that #Rude #Mel had issues !!!... to which another colleague joined in an reiterated my duffle wasn't oversized and could've easily been checked in.
The point is .. This piece is only for #quantas airlines to know and take cognisance .. that their staff must be taught to be helpful and TONE can't change with preference to #COLOUR ."WE" are NOT #pushovers and they MUST know that being #callous and #Rude will NOT BE TOLERATED . Ps: Please tell me if that bag in the picture is oversized??!! "
