YouTube star Adam Saleh was taken off a Delta Air Lines flight after he spoke to his mother on the phone in Arabic, Saleh said in a video he posted on social media.
The 23-year-old, who runs a YouTube vlog with 1.7 million subscribers, uploaded a video which shows him alleging that he was being taken off the plane because passengers "felt uncomfortable" when they heard him speak in Arabic.
Saleh was on a flight from London to New York with his friend Slim Albaher, another YouTube personality, who was also escorted off the plane.
"They kicked us off the plane because a lady, because a lot of people felt uncomfortable," Saleh said. "Delta Air Lines just kicked us out for speaking Arabic."
Saleh can be heard to say to fellow passengers: "Are you serious? I'm about to cry right now. You guys are racists. I cannot believe it. Because we said a word in a different language? And it's six white people against us bearded men?"
