Comment: From the moment you enter the plane,  do you notice how the flight attendants and sometimes even the pilot are present and watching everyone intently as they board?  They are already sizing you up to see if you are intoxicated, mentally unstable, a possible threat to airline safety, etc.   BUT--- they are also likely deciding WHO GETS BOOTED from the plane if that need ever should arise.   They are looking for easy marks.  Someone who won’t complain, who won’t stand up for himself or herself.  It is not a coincidence that both this woman and Mr. Dao (yanked from his seat and injured) are Asian.   Notice that you never see a 6' 2" 300 lb bodybuilder forced off of a plane.    Think about this the next time you board the plane.  Make sure you stand tall, look them in the eye and look ASSERTIVE.  Especially if you are Asian.
