Haha,

You have to establish dominance when it comes to who gets the armrest.

You would have to look at the history of both blacks and people from the middle east to answer your question. as far as i know, they have been little to no violence commited by blacks trying to promote their way of life, religion etc. , and none that i know of that were targeting the overall public, as well as none using airplanes as weapons, or hijacking them. Now people from the middle east on the other hand...
and thats why i'm a bit concerned.

Over the course of history every race as had some form of opperssion towards another group of people. I myself have been a subject of a hate crime and it doesent change my view of white people. I have served my country in the Army an while serving ive had the pleasure of serving next to men of middle eastern decent. In my thinking be on guard all the time. Be worried about the white man in the business suite sitting in first class who keeps staring into the cockpit. He could be the next unibomber. In other words dont allow your self to be close minded on one race. cause when you do that you may not always see the real picture of whats going. Be vigilent an unmoving.

In My hummble Opinion

This is where the beauty and wonder of the "RECIRC" button comes in handy on the 145. As soon as you see that smile...hit it. It'll blow the whole thing back and then it's the FA's problem.
