【新唐人北京时间2018年05月30日讯】美国加州大学篮球队女教练戈特利布,当地时间周二(29日)在社交网推特(Twitter)上发文称,她近日带着1岁的黑人混血儿搭乘西南航空出行时,航空公司拒绝一家人登机,称因其姓氏不同,要求她出示出生证明。
戈特利布(Lindsay Gottlieb)周二称,她原定周日(27日)与其丈夫及儿子,由科罗拉多州丹佛飞往加州奥克兰,但西南航空的职员却拒绝让一家人登机。航空公司员工还要求她证明与儿子是母子关系。
戈特利布称,当时她手持儿子的护照,但职员仍要求她出示儿子出生证明、以及在社交网脸书(Facebook)的贴文,证明二人的母子关系。

戈特利布事后发文称,自己与儿子一同搭飞机50次,都没有发生过这样的事。虽然航空公司职员解释,是因为她与儿子的姓氏不同,但戈特利布相信真正原因是二人种族有异。
@SouthwestAir I’m appalled that after approx 50 times flying with my 1 year old son, ticket counter personnel told me I had to “prove” that he was my son, despite having his passport. She said because we have different last name. My guess is because he has a different skin color.

@SouthwestAir it was demeaning and insensitive, not to mention inefficient. Would have missed flight if it was not delayed. I would advise better training for employees to avoid this happening to others

戈特利布还发文称,希望西南航空在不耽误行程的情况下对员工进行培训,以免同样事情再次发生。
